Ecthelion I

Ecthelion I was the seventeenth Ruling Steward of Gondor.
==Biography==
Born in TA 2600, Ecthelion was the son of Orodreth. Ecthelion succeeded his father as Steward in TA 2685. Although, the Corsairs of Umbar were the major threat to Gondor at the time, the most notable event during his reign was the rebuilding of the White Tower in Minas Tirith. In his honour it later became known as the Tower of Ecthelion. Ecthelion I died childless in TA 2698 at the age of ninety-eight. Since, Ecthelion I had no children at the time of his death, afterwards the Stewardship of Gondor passed to Egalmoth, Ecthelion's first cousin once removed.
==Etymology==
Ecthelion may have been named after the Elf lord of Gondolin, Ecthelion of the Fountain. The name means "Spear-point", from the Quenya ehtë ("spear") and thela ("point of spear").The History of Middle-earth, Vol. V: The Lost Road and Other Writings, Part Three: "The Etymologies"
