Ar-Zimrathôn
Ar-Zimrathôn was the son and heir to Ar-Adûnakhôr, and became the twenty-first King of Númenor. His father was the first King to take his name in the Adûnaic tongue, and Ar-Zimrathôn continued this tradition by doing the same, though the Quenya form of his name, Tar-Hostamir, was recorded in the Scroll of Kings.
Ar-Zimrathôn held the Sceptre of Númenor for seventy-one years, and was succeeded by his son Ar-Sakalthôr.
Etymology
Zimrathôn can mean "Collector of Jewels" or "Many Jewels" in Adûnaic, depending the reading of his Quenya name. The meaning of the Adûnaic prefix Ar- is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "king" and is a prefixal form of ârû ("king") or derived from the same root.
His Quenya name, Hostamir can mean "Many Jewels" or "Collector of Jewels" depending if hosta is read as a noun ("many") or a verb ("gather, collect"); (mir) meaning "jewel". Like for all the rulers of Númenor whose name was inscribed in the Scroll of Kings, the prefix tar- ("high") was added to his name.
