Etymology
Winid-haria is a Gothic name meaning "pasture-armyman" or "Winidas-armyman".
Winidas (in Old English) were the Slavs who dwelt inside Germanic territories. A possible analogy of the Winidas within the legendarium could be the Middle Men who belonged to Gondor, a suitable reference for the Northmen.
Note that it should be pronounced as Vinit-harya (as in plot-hole), and not as **Viniþarya.
