Biography
Atanalcar was born after SA 61 and was the younger brother of Manwendil, Tindómiel, and the short reigning king Vardamir Nólimon. Nothing else is known of his life only that he was possibly married and had children.
In The Nature of Middle-earth, it is seen that J.R.R. Tolkien considered making the children of Elros Half-elves, giving them the same choice of mortality as the children of Elrond. Whether he adopted this idea fully is unclear.
Etymology
The name Atanalcar is Quenya for "man-glory". It is made of the words atan ("man") and alcar ("glory, radiance, brilliance or splendour").
