Durin VII, also known as Durin the Last,[3] was the last of the six reincarnations of Durin the Deathless.
History
The actions of Durin VII were prophesied long before he was born; his birth was apparently prophesied upon the accession of Dáin II after the Battle of Five Armies.[4]
Durin VII was the direct descendant of Thorin III Stonehelm (according to some sources, he was his son).[1]
He led Durin's folk from Erebor back to Khazad-dûm and restored the ancient kingdom sometime after Fo.A. 171. There they remained "until the world grew old and the Dwarves failed and the days of Durin's race were ended."[1]
Etymology
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.[5]
Another account states that Durinn is one of the Dwarfs in the Dvergatal. The name means "Sleepy".[6]

Notes
- ↑ The mention of Durin's name as a prophecy in the Appendix A, and considering that the Appendix derives from the Red Book (copied Fo.A. 171), seems to suggest that he was probably born, or emerged, after that date.
- ↑ An alternative version of the genealogical tree of Appendix A suggested Durin VII was the son of Thorin III.
