EspañolAEGNOR
In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, 'Aegnor' was a Noldorin Elf, a son of Finarfin and lord of the Noldor.
Aegnor was the elder brother of Galadriel and younger brother of Finrod Felagund and Angrod; together with them joined the Exile of the Noldor from Valinor. Aegnor was "renowned as one of the most valiant of the warriors...; in wrath or battle the light of his eyes was like flame [which gave rise to his 'prophetic' mother-name], though otherwise he was a generous and noble spirit".[1]
Later in Beleriand he was a vassal of Finrod and together with Angrod held the highlands of Dorthonion against Morgoth, but both were slain in the Dagor Bragollach.
Aegnor never married. He was in love with the Bëorian woman Andreth, but because it was wartime did not make his intentions towards her clear, and was killed soon after.[1]
The name, ''Aegnor'' (IPA: ), is a Sindarized form of his Quenya mother-name '''Aikanáro''' or '''Aikanár''' (), meaning "Fell-fire", apparently given with regards to his character. His father-name was 'Ambaráto' (in Telerin Quenya), meaning 'High Noble' and resembling the names ''Findaráto'' and ''Angaráto'' of his brothers Finrod and Angrod; a similar name was later given to his half-cousin Amrod.
In earlier versions of Tolkien's legendarium (see ''The History of Middle-earth''), the character's name was '''Egnor'''. In some of the earliest stories (see: ''The Book of Lost Tales''), this was the name of the father of Beren (who then was a Noldorin Elf, not a Man as in later writings). It is unlikely that this earlier Egnor was the same character.
The name ''Aegnor'' was also assigned to the movie-only character Figwit for the trading card game.
