Aranuir (T.A. 2084[1] - 2247,[2] died aged 163) was the third of the Chieftains of the Dúnedain, following the death of his father, Arahael, in 2177.

History

As far as records go, Aranuir's rule was uneventful. Aranuir died in 2247, after having been chieftain for seventy years, and was followed by his son, Aravir.[2]

Etymology

Aranuir's name is Sindarin, and although the etymology is uncertain, it probably means "Eternal King", coming from the prefix aran meaning "king", and uir meaning "eternity".
