Aragorn, son of Arathorn was called
the Dúnadan ("Man of the West/
Númenórean", given by
Arwen in Lothlórien and much used by
Bilbo),
Longshanks (given by
Bill Ferny in Bree),
Strider (by which he was known in Bree and the outlying areas), and
Wingfoot (given by
Éomer after discovering that Aragorn had travelled 45
leagues in four days in pursuit of Pippin, Merry, and their Uruk-hai captors). He was the founder of the
House of Telcontar (
Telcontar is "Strider" in
Quenya, after the nickname given him by the rustics of the North), which ruled Gondor well into the Fourth Age of
Middle-earth; in records, his full
regnal name is given as
Elessar Telcontar ("Elfstone Strider").
Envinyatar (meaning "the renewer") is another name by which he referred to himself when he claimed the elfstone. He was known as
Estel ("hope") before coming of age, to protect his true lineage from Sauron's forces, which were seeking the heir of Isildur. He was also known as
Thorongil ("Eagle of the Star") in his younger days when he travelled across Middle-earth and took up service in Rohan and Gondor (often by protecting camps and raiding enemy strongholds like he did when he crossed the Corsairs of Umbar).
Arwen was the youngest child of
Elrond and
Celebrían. Her elder brothers were the twins
Elladan and Elrohir. Her name
Ar-wen means 'noble maiden'. She bore the sobriquet Evenstar (or Evening Star), as the most beautiful of the last generation of High Elves in Middle-earth.
As told in "
The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen",
[1] Aragorn in his twentieth year met Arwen for the first time in Rivendell, where he lived under Elrond's protection. Arwen, then over 2700 years old, had recently returned to her father's home after living for a while with her grandmother
Lady Galadriel in
Lórien. Aragorn fell in love with Arwen at first sight. Some thirty years later, the two were reunited in Lórien. Arwen reciprocated Aragorn's love, and on the mound of
Cerin Amroth they committed themselves to marry one another.
Arwen first appears in the text of
The Lord of the Rings in Rivendell shortly after
Frodo awoke in the House of Elrond. She sat beside her father Elrond at the celebratory feast. When the
Fellowship of the Ring came to Lothlórien, Aragorn remembered their earlier meeting and paused in reverence on Cerin Amroth.
Shortly before Aragorn took the
Paths of the Dead, he was joined by a group of
Dúnedain from the North, accompanied by Arwen's brothers, Elladan and Elrohir, who brought him as a gift from Arwen a banner of black cloth. The banner was unfurled at the
Battle of the Pelennor Fields to reveal the emblem of
Elendil figured in
mithril, gems, and gold; this became the first triumphant public announcement of the King's return.
After the War of the Ring, Aragorn became king of
Arnor and
Gondor. Arwen arrived at
Minas Tirith, and they were married. She gave Frodo a necklace with a white stone, which would aid him when the darkness of his injuries troubled him.
