Ómar, also called Amillo,[1] was a Vala who knew all languages.[2] He was considered to be the youngest of all the Valar.[1]
Ómar only appeared in the earliest version of the legendarium, The Book of Lost Tales.
Etymology
Ómar and Amillo are Qenya names. The former is related to Qenya ōma "voice", while the latter is glossed as "one of the Happy Folk; Hilary", where Hilary derives from Latin hilaris "cheerful".
The Gnomish equivalents of his names are Ûmor and Gamlos (likely meaning "one who shouts with joy").[3]
