== Biography ==
Írimë was born during the Noontide of Valinor, probably in Tirion. She was the third child of Finwë and Indis and their second daughter. Little is known about her except that she joined the Rebellion of the Ñoldor and went to Middle-earth with Fingolfin and his host.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. XII: The Peoples of Middle-earth, XI: "The Shibboleth of Fëanor" Írimë's fate is unknown.
== Etymology ==
The roots and meaning of the name Írimë are unspecified. Her mother-name was Lalwendë, or in shortened form, Lalwen, by which she was generally known. Lalwendëis Quenya, meaning "laughing maiden".The History of Middle-earth, Vol. XII: The Peoples of Middle-earth, XI: "The Shibboleth of Fëanor", The names of Finwë's descendants It appears to me made of the words lala ("laugh") and the feminine term wendë ("maiden").
In some writings, she was Irien, which may have been her father-name. It is possible that both "Írimë" and "Irien" had origins in the Quenya words írissë and írë ("desire") or perhaps írima ("lovely, desirable").The History of Middle-earth, Vol. V: The Lost Road and Other Writings, Part Three: "The Etymologies"
== In other versions ==
In earlier versions of Tolkien's legendarium, Írimë was called Finvain. According this account, Finwë and Indis had three daughters Findis, Faniel and Finvain. However, the character of Faniel was later discarded.
