The youngest child, and only daughter, of King Tar-Amandil of Númenor. As the great-granddaughter of Elros Tar-Minyatur, the founding King of Númenor, her blood was of the highest nobility, and her eldest brother went on to become King in his own right, as Tar-Elendil. If Mairen left any descendants of historical note, however, they are not recorded, and her branch of Elros' line appears to have ended with Mairen herself.

Mairen's name is not specifically explained. It may represent a feminine form of the adjective maira, meaning 'excellent' or 'admirable', though this is not established with certainty. |
