Q. Anairë f. “*Holiest”
Noldorin wife of
Fingolfin who remained behind in Valinor (PM/344). In an earlier genealogy, she was a Vanyarin elf and wife of
Turgon (WJ/323), but Turgon’s wife was changed to
Elenwë and the name
Anairë was assigned to Fingolfin’s wife. The meaning of the name is unclear, but it superficially seems to be
anairë “holiest”, the superlative of
airë¹ “holy”.
