Írimë was a Noldorin Elf who was the third child and second daughter of Finwë, High King of the Noldor and Indis, his second wife. She was the sister of Findis, Fingolfin, and Finarfin, as well as the half-sister of Fëanor.[1]
History
Little is known about Írimë, except that during the Exile of the Noldor she went to Middle-earth across the Helcaraxë with her elder brother Fingolfin of whom she was close to, while the rest of her siblings remained in Valinor.[1] Írimë's fate is unknown; she may have been slain or returned to Aman after the War of Wrath.
Etymology
Írimë is clearly Quenya, probably a feminized form of írima ("desirable, lovely").[2]
Other names
Her mother-name was Lalwendë, or in shortened form Lalwen, and by this name she was generally known. This short name was not changed in Middle-earth, as it fit Sindarin.[1] The Sindarin version of this name would have been Glaðwen.[3]
In the same lines of The Shibboleth of Fëanor, Tolkien contradictory named both Írimë and Írien to this character, so his son Christopher explains his father could have been influenced by the previous genealogies.[4]
