Manwendil was the third child, and second son, of Elros Tar-Minyatur, the first King of Númenor. Though he left descendants, nothing of their lives was recorded.[1]

Etymology

Manwendil is a Quenya name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "Friend of Manwë" and is a compound of Manwë (the name of the Vala, which literally means "Blessed Being") and -(n)dil ("friend", "lover", "devoted to").[2]
