Durin II (lived sometime during the late First Age or early Second Age[1][note 1]) was a King of Durin's folk and King of Khazad-dûm.
History[edit | edit source]
Like all Durins after Durin I he was given the name of the first Father of the Dwarves because he greatly resembled him in both appearance and manner. Indeed it was believed among the Dwarves that he was the reincarnation of Durin I, though whether this is possible is unclear.[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
One account states that the name Durin was a word for "king" in the language of the Men of the North in the early Second Age.[2]
Another account states that Durinn is one of the Dwarfs in the Dvergatal. The name means "Sleepy".[3]
Theories[edit | edit source]
Robert Foster, author of The Complete Guide to Middle-earth, has suggested that this is the Durin named on the Doors of Durin of Moria, built around S.A. 750.[4]
