Aegnor is elder brother of Galadriel and younger brother of Finrod Felagund and Angrod. Together with Angrod he held the highlands of Dorthonion against Morgoth. Aegnor and Angrod were both slain in the Dagor Bragollach.
The name Aegnor is a Sindarized form of his Quenya name Aikanár or Aikanáro, meaning Sharp-flame, apparently given with regards to his character.
Aegnor never married. He was in love with the Bëorian woman AndrethAndreth is a fictional character from J. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Andreth was a daughter of Boromir of the House of Beor, and a sister to Bregor. She was born in the 361 year of the First Age. She was called Saelind Wise-Heart by the Elves, for, but because it was wartime did not make his intentions towards her clear, and was killed soon after.
In the early versions of Tolkien's legendarium (see: History of Middle-earth), a character named Egnor appears. In some of the earliest stories (see: The Book of Lost TalesThe Book of Lost Tales is the title of the first two volumes of Christopher Tolkien's 12-volume series The History of Middle-earth in which he analyses the unpublished manuscripts of his father J. The Book of Lost Tales contains the first versions of the), this was the name of the father of BerenBeren is a fictional character, created by J. He was a Man of Middle-earth, a hero whose romance with the Elf Luthien was one of the great stories of the Elder Days. Story Beren was the son of Barahir and Emeldir. He was a Man of the royal House of Beor o (who then was a Ñoldorin Elf, not a ManThe race of Men in J. Tolkien's Middle-earth books, such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings refers to humanity and does not denote gender. They are distinct from the various humanoid races, though some, like hobbits, are probably human in origin, and as in later writings). It is far from certain if this Egnor was the same character.
