Angrod

Angrod was a Ñoldorin Elf, the second son of Finarfin and lord of the Ñoldor of Dorthonion. He was the father of Orodreth and subsequently grandfather of the famed Gil-galad.
== Biography ==
Angrod was the elder brother of Galadriel and Aegnor, and younger brother of Finrod Felagund. In FA 6, he was received in Doriath by King Thingol, requesting Thingol's permission to establish realms in Beleriand outside the king's realm.
Along with his brothers and sister, they were the few princes of the West permitted to enter Doriath through their mother Eärwen of Alqualondë.
With Aegnor, he held the northern slopes of the highlands of Dorthonion against Morgoth. Angrod and Aegnor were both killed in the Dagor Bragollach. 
He married a Ñoldorin lady named Eðellos. His son was Orodreth.The Silmarillion: Quenta Silmarillion
==Etymology==
The name Angrod was a Sindarin form of his Telerin Quenya name, Angaráto,The Silmarillion, Appendix: Elements in Quenya and Sindarin names which means "champion".
== Other versions ==
In the published Silmarillion, Orodreth is given as Angrod's brother instead. This was an editorial decision by Christopher Tolkien, which he later admitted as a mistake.
