Adrahil was the twenty-first Prince of Dol Amroth.[1]
History
Adrahil was the son of Angelimir. He became the twenty-first Prince of Dol Amroth after his father's death in T.A. 2977.[1]
Adrahil had three children. His oldest daughter, Ivriniel, his second daughter, Finduilas and his youngest child and only son, Imrahil.[2]
In T.A. 2976[3] Adrahil's daughter Finduilas married Denethor, the son of Steward Ecthelion II of Gondor.[4]
Two years later in T.A. 2978 Finduilas' older son Boromir was born and five years after that in T.A. 2983 her younger son Faramir was born.[5]
Five years after the birth of her second son Faramir, Finduilas died young at the age of 38 in T.A. 2988.[6]
Adrahil died in T.A. 3010 and was succeeded by his only son Imrahil.[1]
Etymology
Adrahil presumably is an Adûnaic name[7] of unknown meaning.
The second element -hil (also seen in the name Imrahil) perhaps is related to the Westron ending -kil (cf. banakil, Tarkil) meaning "man", ultimately related to Elvish "follower".[8]
