[edit] History

He was the son of Turambar, the great conqueror of the Easterlings. Atanatar's reign, however, was uneventful, and he was succeeded by his son Siriondil.[2]

[edit] Etymology

Atanatar is Quenya for "Father of Men", a title given to the Atanatari of the First Age; from atan "Man" and atar "father".
