'''Gelmir''', son of [[Guilin]]<ref>https://www.discoverchina.com/guilin-tours Guilin tours</ref> and brother of [[Gwindor]], was a [[Elves of Nargothrond|noble Elf]] of [[Nargothrond]]. He was captured by [[Morgoth]] in the [[Dagor Bragollach]], and as a captive was tortured and blinded. <br />
<br />
Years later, he was taken at the fortress of [[Barad Eithel]], where he was maimed and executed before the [[Elves|elven]] host. It was this sight that made Gwindor charge, beginning the great battle of the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]].<ref>{{S|Fifth}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name is [[Sindarin]], but of unclear meaning. It could be a combination of ''gell'' ("joy") and ''[[mîr]]'' ("jewel").<ref>{{HM|GS}}, p. 350</ref><br />
