Tar-Amandil was the third King of Númenor. He ruled de-facto for 148 years, from 442 to 590 of the Second Age. Tar-Amandil was legally the third King, but actually its second ruler.[1] His father, Vardamir Nólimon, declined to take the Sceptre upon the death of his own father, Elros Tar-Minyatur, and was only a titular King that was deemed to have reigned one year.[2]
Tar-Amandil had three children: two sons, Elendil and Eärendur; and a daughter, Mairen.[3] Just as his father had yielded the Sceptre before his death, Tar-Amandil abdicated in 590[1] and was succeeded by his eldest son Elendil, who would rule as Tar-Elendil.[3] This tradition of renouncing the Sceptre a few years before death was observed by most of the rulers of Númenor until Tar-Atanamir.[4]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Amandil is Quenya. The name is glossed to mean "Lover of Aman".[5] According to Paul Strack, the name is a compound of Aman ("Blessed Realm") and -(n)dil ("friend, lover, devoted to").[6] Like all the rulers of Númenor who took their royal names in Quenya, Amandil added the prefix tar- ("high") to his name when he received the Sceptre.[7]
The Adûnaic version of his name is Aphanuzîr,[8] which Paul Strack suggests probably means "Bliss-friend".[9]

In the twelfth note to a text written around 1959 and published in The Nature of Middle-earth, it is said that either the slow maturity of the Half-elven, or the "choice of kindred"[10]:78 extended to the third generation, suggesting that Tar-Amandil, and Eldarion, were among the Half-elven.[10]:82 However, this was changed to the second generation in the actual text.[10]:78
