- ― The Peoples of Middle-earth, The Shibboleth of Fëanor
Amros and his twin brother Amarthan were the youngest sons of Fëanor. Through their mother Nerdanel they inherited red hair, instead of Fëanor's black.
History
He, like his brothers, participated in the Flight of the Noldor. He was deeply attached to his twin brother, and thus they were called "Ambarussa" (see below). After his brother's death in the burning of the ships of the Teleri at Losgar, he dared to speak against his father, and was the last to do so.[1]
After Fëanor's death he dwelt in the wide plains of East Beleriand and was known as a great hunter. He died during the attack made by the sons of Fëanor on the Havens of Sirion.[2]
Etymology
Amros' father-name was Pityafinwë, or "Little Finwë", as he was the second youngest of the House of Finwë. The short form of his name was Pityo, "Little One". His mother-name was Ambarussa ("top-russet", referring to his hair). His twin Amarthan shared the same mother-name for a time (see Amrod for further information). While in Aman, others called him Minyarussa, which means "First-russa".[3]
The name Amros is the Sindarin version of Ambarussa.
