Winid-haria is a Gothic name meaning "pasture-armyman" or "Winidas-armyman". Winidas (in Old English) were the Slavs who dwelt inside Germanic territories. A possible analogy of the Winidas within the legendarium could be the Middle Men who belonged to Gondor, a suitable reference for the Northmen. Note that it should be pronounced as Vinit-harya (as in plot-hole), and not as **Viniþarya.

Conceptual Development: In the draft versions of The Lord of the Rings, ᴹQ. Eldakar was considered as a name for Aragorn’s father, where it was glossed “Elfhelm” (TI/366). An even earlier precursor of the name appears in The Etymologies: ᴹQ. Eldahar, where the second element is derived from the root ᴹ√KHAR “helmet” (EtyAC/KHAR).
