Aegnor

Aegnor was a Ñoldorin Elf, the third son of Finarfin, elder brother of Galadriel, younger brother of Finrod Felagund and Angrod and lord of the Ñoldor of Dorthonion in the First Age.
== Biography ==
Aegnor was born in Tirion sometime during the Noontide of Valinor.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter V: "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië" When Fëanor spoke in Tirion, Aegnor was moved by his words as was his brother but neither spoke against their father; however, he and his brothers followed the host of the Ñoldor to Middle-earth.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter IX: "Of the Flight of the Noldor" When the Ñoldor returned to Middle-earth, he together with Angrod held the northern slopes of the highlands of Dorthonion against Morgoth throughout the time of the Siege of Angband.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XIV: "Of Beleriand and its Realms"
Aegnor never married but he was in love with the Bëorian wise-woman Andreth, and she returned his feelings. They spent much time discussing Men and Elves and their fates in the world, which are fully explained in the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth. However, it was wartime and he did not make his intentions towards her clear enough. He was killed along with his brother soon after when Morgoth broke the Siege at the start of Dagor Bragollach in FA 455.
==Etymology==
The name Aegnor is a Sindarin form of his Quenya name Aikanár or Aikanáro, meaning "Sharp Flame" or "Fell Fire", from aeg, meaning 'sharp, pointed, piercing', and nórui, meaning 'sunny or fiery'.The Silmarillion, Appendix: Elements in Quenya and Sindarin names
==Other versions of the legendarium==
In the early versions of Tolkien's legendarium (see The History of Middle-earth), a character named Egnor appears. In some of the earliest stories (see: The Book of Lost Tales), this was the name of the father of Beren (who then was a Ñoldorin elf, not a man as in later writings). It is far from certain if this Egnor was the same character.
== Trivia ==
*The name Aegnor was also assigned to the movie-only character Figwit for the trading card game.
