Soronto

Soronto was a Númenorean nobleman of the royal lineage of Númenor or House of Elros, the grandson of Tar-Meneldur and son of Ailinel, sister of Tar-Aldarion.Unfinished Tales, Part Two: The Second Age, II: "Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife" He lived in the later years of the first millennium of the Second Age. His father was Orchaldor, a descendant of the House of Hador.
==Biography==
Before the change in Númenor's law that turned the order of succession into cognatic primogeniture, Soronto may have been presumptive heir to the throne. (J.R.R. Tolkien intended to write a story about Tar-Aldarion's daughter Tar-Ancalimë and her cousin Soronto, and how she married only to prevent Soronto from inheriting the throne.)Unfinished Tales, Part Two: The Second Age, II: "Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife", Further Course of the Narrative
==Etymology==
The name Soronto apparently means "Eagle", "Eagle-friend", or perhaps "Man of the Eagle" in Quenya, from soron ("eagle").The History of Middle-earth, Vol. V: The Lost Road and Other Writings, Part Three: "The Etymologies"
