Sandbox Notes
Mandos 'hell' and -mandu in Angamandu 'Hells of Iron' (Anga is Q. for 'iron') (Lost Tales 1, Appendix), which is Angband lit. 'Iron-prison' (S. ang 'iron' + band 'prison'). Related also to Angainos which was a Gnomish name for Melkor as the Gnomish word Gainu means "tormentor".

History
Ingwe was one of the Minyar born or awoken near Cuiviénen. When Oromë found the Quendi and invited them to Aman, Ingwë with Finwë and Elwë followed him as ambassadors and traveled to the Blessed Realms. When they returned, they told their peoples about its beauty and bliss and became their leaders during the Great March. Ingwë was the leader of the Vanyar, the foremost of the clans to follow Oromë, who were the most eager to reach the West, which they did quickly.
After the Great March, Ingwë never returned or set eyes upon Middle-earth again.[5] He lived in Tirion, in the tower called Mindon Eldaliéva, but then he went to Taniquetil at the feet of Manwe.[4]
Indis, the second wife of Finwe, was of his close kin.[6]
Etymology
 | Ingwe.mp3 |
| By Ardamir. (Help; more articles) | |
In the Etymologies, Ingwe is said to be a compound of ing ("first") + the ending -we (Quenya "man").[7]
Other versions of the legendarium
In early versions of Tolkien's legendarium (see The History of Middle-earth) Ingwë's name was Inwë.
In that early writing Inwë (or Ing) was instead the name of a mortal man, the "King of Lúthien" (also spelled "Leithian" or "Luthany"), who was driven east over the sea by Ossë and became ruler of the ancestors of the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians. Eventually the Angles, Saxon, and Jutes returned to Lúthien, now long renamed as Britain.
In drafts for his character, Ingwë had a sister, which would imply that he was not an unbegotten elf and instead a child born from one of the pairings of the original fourteen or their early descendants as the Minyar clan grew. In The Peoples of Middle-earth, Indis is the daughter of King Ingwë's unnamed sister.[8]:343 In Morgoth's Ring, Indis was written as the sister of Ingwë.[9]:261
The children of Ingwë and his spouse are not mentioned in The Silmarillion. However, in the words of an early story of Finwë, he said, "'Ingwë and Olwë beget many children in the bliss of Aman.'"[2]:206 And, in that same story, it noted again that Indis was the sister of Ingwë.[2]:207
In these early works, while the other clans are noted as the followers or the people of their leader, only the Vanyar are called "The Children of Ingwë" among other poetic names.[10]:164
His name also identified the Vanyar, who also called themselves Ingwer; based on the root of his name inga (Q.) meaning 'top, highest point'. Their king's proper title was Ingwë Ingweron, "Chief of the chieftains".[8]:340
