'''Aravorn''' ({{TA|2497}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}</ref> - {{TA|2654|n}},<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref> died aged 157) was the ninth [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]].


Like his forefathers, he was raised by [[Elrond]] in [[Rivendell]] while his father [[Aragost]] dwelt in the wild.

Aravorn succeeded his father, [[Aragost]], when he died in {{TA|2588|n}}. Aravorn's rule seems to be uneventful as the enemy centered a lot of its attacks on the newly-formed [[Rohan]].


Aravorn became the [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]] in 2588 at the death of his father. During his rule [[Orcs|Orc]]- and wolf-attacks continued, as the strength of [[Sauron]] slowly began to increase.

He died in 2654, and was followed by his son [[Arahad II]].

Aravorn's name is [[Sindarin]], though its exact meaning is unclear. The first element is ''[[aran]]'', "king", but the second could be ''[[boron|born]]'', "steadfast", or ''[[morn]]'', "darkness", which both become ''vorn'' through [[lenition]].

History

Aravorn succeeded his father, Aragost, when he died in 2588. Aravorn's rule seems to be uneventful as the enemy centered a lot of its attacks on the newly-formed Rohan.

Aravorn died in 2654, after having ruled as chieftain for 66 years, and was succeeded by his son, Arahad II.[2]

Etymology

Aravorn's name is Sindarin, though its exact meaning is unclear. The first element is aran, "king", but the second could be born, "steadfast", or morn, "darkness", which both become vorn through lenition.
