Tuor

Tuor is the name of a heroic mortal man in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, featured prominently in The Silmarillion (1977) and the earlier tale The Fall of Gondolin. The name is constructed in the fictional Elvish language Sindarin and means "strength, vigour". Tuor is a central figure of the First Age: as a Man, he was uniquely chosen by the Vala Ulmo to journey to the hidden Elven city of Gondolin and warn of its impending doom. He became an instrument of fate, escaping the city's destruction with his wife Idril and son Eärendil, which ultimately led to the distant anchorages of Valinor through his voyage into the West.

Etymology and Meaning

The name Tuor is drawn from Tolkien's invented language Sindarin, a version of Elvish spoken by the Grey Elves. According to Tolkien's linguistic glosses, the meaning is essentially “strength” or “vigour”, qualities embodied in the character. The root underpinning Tuor may relate to tûr (power, strength). Unlike many characters with fabricated etymologies, Tuor has no clear trace back to a historical real-world name; its sound echoes certain Old Norse or Finnish forms, though Tolkien was insistent that it function purely within the system of Sindarin.| The name is only used about five times in stark first names market, biding exclusively within the Lege” because Myriel special. In character’ homeworld this name occurred only refer more – really still not connect onto.
