emeldir

feminine name. Manhearted, *Manly-mother

Wife of Barahir and mother of Beren, translated “Manhearted” (S/155). Patrick Wynne suggested that her name may be a combination of emel “mother” and dîr “man”, so literally meaning: “manly-mother” or “mother with manly courage” (VT48/17-18, note #14).
