Oromendil was the second child and oldest son of Nolondil, the brother of Tar-Amandil, King of Númenor. Though he left descendants, nothing of their lives was recorded.[1]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Oromendil is a Quenya name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "Friend of Oromë" and is a compound of Oromë ("the name of the Valar, which literally means Horn-blowing") and -(n)dil ("friend, lover, devoted to").[2]
