Finrún Felageómor was the fourth child of Finwë in the early version of the legendarium.[1] Nothing else is known about this character.
Etymology
The name Finrún is in Old English, since it was translated by Ælfwine, but no Elvish equivalent is given.[1] Felageómor is likewise an Old English name (meaning "very sorrowful").[1]
In Old Norse "rún" meant "rune" or "secret";[2] from this "rūn" in Old English was derived with the same meaning.[3]
Names ending with "rún" were more commonly associated with females (cf. "Guðrún" and "Sigrún" from the Poetic Edda).
