Tarcil (T.A. 280[1] – 515,[2] aged 235 years) was the sixth King of Arnor.
History
Tarcil succeeded his father, Arantar, when he died in 435. Tarcil was great-great-grandson of Isildur.
Tarcil ruled uneventfully for eighty years, and was succeeded by his son, Tarondor, upon his death in 515.[2]
Etymology
Tarcil is a Quenya name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "High Man" or "Númenorean" and is a compound of tar- ("high") and a shortened from of Hildo ("Man").[3]
The spelling variant Tarkil also appears in early drafts of The Lord of the Rings as the name of the sixth king of Arnor[4] and as another nickname for Aragorn.[5][6] The Orkish term "tark" for a "man of Gondor" is a debased form of the Quenya word tarkil, which is used in Westron for one of Númenorean descent.[7][8]
