Eärwen (Q "sea-maiden", pron. [eˈarwen]) was the daughter of Olwë1, King of the Falmari, the Teleri of Aman. She was known as the "Swan-maiden of Alqualondë". Around Valian Year 1280 during the Years of the Trees she married Finarfin, a Noldo of the House of Finwë. She became the mother of Finrod, Angrod, Aegnor, and Galadriel. She was said to be friends with Anairë, the wife of Fingolfin, her husband's older brother.
Eärwen stayed in Aman after the Flight of the Noldor. She presumably still lives there with Finarfin.
Her name means "Maiden of the Sea" in Quenya (from eär = "sea" and -wen = "maiden").
