Etymology
Hareth also appears in Tûr Haretha, the "Ladybarrow", so the name probably means "Lady" in the Haladin tongue.[4]
Robert Foster also suggests that Hareth means "Lady",[3] however the entry erroneously labels the name as Quenya
Other Versions of the Legendarium
Halmir's second daughter, Hiril, was a later addition to the House of Haleth family tree. Before she was introduced Hareth's name was "Hiriel".[5]
