Herendil was, at one stage in the writing of the Númenor myth, the son of Elendil.[1] His role was later replaced by Isildur.
A derisive name given to Herendul was Terendul, meaning "Slender and Dark".[2]
Etymology
The name includes Qenya heren "fortune" and is translated by Tolkien with the Old English name Eadwine.[3] Obviously his name means "Fortune-Friend".
