A Vanyarin elf, beloved of Finrod, who did not go with him into exile (S/130). She is the reason he never married (WJ/44). In the “Grey Annals”, her name appeared with a long á: Amárië (WJ/44, 62, 67). The meaning of her name is unclear, but it might contain márië “goodness”.

The Encyclopedia of Arda says that Amarië is difficult to interpret, but suggests it could include mar, "home" in reference to Amarië's location at home in Aman. Ruth S. Noel makes a similar interpretation and defines Amarië as "Of the Home" but is unable to identify whether the name is Sindarin or Quenya.
