S. Finvain f.

S. Finvain, f.

A passing name for the youngest daughter of Finwë (MR/262), in earlier and later writings called Írimë (MR/207, PM/343). The meaning of this name is unclear. This name is likely a combination of fin from Finwë and the lenited form of bain “beautiful”; hat-tip to Parmandil for this suggestion.
