When he returned to [[Gondor]] with his father, he was given the name [[Eldacar (King of Gondor)|Eldacar]], a name he retained when he inherited Gondor's throne.<ref>{{App|Gondor}}</ref>

==Etymology==
[[Category:Gothic names]]
Winid-haria is a [[Gothic]] name meaning "pasture-armyman" or "[[Wikipedia:Wends|Winidas]]-armyman".
 
The Wends or ''Winidas'' (in [[Old English]]) were a Slavic people who dwelt inside Germanic territories. A possible analogy of the ''Winidas'' within the legendarium could be the [[Middle Men]] who belonged to [[Gondor]], a suitable reference for the [[Northmen]].
 
Note that it should be pronounced as Vinit-harya (as in ''plot-hole''), and '''not''' as **Viniþarya.
