húrin

masculine name. Húrin

A great man from the House of Hador and the father of Túrin (S/148), also the founder of the house of stewards (LotR/1052), and the 5th and 14th ruling stewards of Gondor (LotR/1039). This name is a combination of [N.] hûr “vigour” and ind “heart” (Ety/ID, KHOR).

Conceptual Development: In the earliest Lost Tales, the father of Túrin was first named G. Úrin (LT2/70), revised to ᴱN. Húrin in the Lays of Beleriand from the 1920s (LB/21). The name N. Húrin appeared in The Etymologies from the 1930s, which is the source of the derivation given above (Ety/ID, KHOR).

Húrin

noun. strong heart

hûr (“vigour, fiery spirit”) + ind (“inner thought, mind, heart”)

hurinionath

collective name. Descendants of Húrin

A title for the stewards of Gondor as the descendants Húrin (PM/202), a combination of that name with the patronymic suffix -ion and the class-plural suffix -ath.

húrinien

proper name. Children of Húrin

Another name for the tale Narn i Chîn Húrin appearing in an introduction to the tale of Túrin that was not included in the published version of The Silmarillion (WJ/311). The initial element is clearly Húrin. Lokyt and Vyacheslav Stepanov suggested its second element might be a Noldorin-style plural of the patronymic suffix -ion. In Noldorin of the 1930s and 40s, an o became an e in the final syllables of plurals rather than y as it did in Sindarin; compare Noldorin plural ered to Sindarin eryd for orod “mountain”.

Conceptual Development: This name also appeared in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, where it was preceded by the definite article and underwent nasal-mutation, as N. iChúrinien (LR/317).

glaer nia chîn húrin

Tale of the Children of Húrin

An earlier Sindarin name for “Tale of the Children of Húrin”, revised to Narn i Chîn Húrin (WJ/160). It uses glaer “long lay, narrative poem” instead of narn “tale”, and the definite plural form nia of the preposition na(n) “of”, the latter also seen in Sarch nia Chîn Húrin.

sarch nia chîn húrin

proper name. Grave of the Children of Húrin

Name of the grave of Túrin and Nienor (UT/140), a combination of sarch “grave”, the definite plural form nia of the preposition na(n) “of” (also seen in Glaer nia Chîn Húrin), the mutated plural chîn of hên “child” and the name of their father Húrin. The unmutated form Hîn in the Unfinished Tales was an editorial decision by Christopher Tolkien (LR/322 note §25); the name was spelled correctly (with Chîn) in The Children of Húrin (CH/247).

Narn-i-Chîn Húrin

noun. tale of the children of Húrin
