Frumgar

Before Third Age 1977 the Éothéod lived in the middle vales of Anduin between the Carrock and the Gladden Fields with most of them living on the west side of the river Anduin. At that time many men lived in the middle vales of Anduin and the shadow of Dol Guldur was lengthening.

In Third Age 1975 the evil Kingdom of Angmar was destroyed. The Éothéod heard of the destruction of Angmar, probably because some of them had fought with their horses with the expeditionary force from Gondor in Arthedain against the troops from Angmar in Third Age 1975. As a consequence, Frumgar, then the chieftain of the Éothéod, led the Éothéod, who sought more room, to the North and drove away the remnants of the people of Angmar on the east side of the Misty Mountains in Third Age 1977.

The Éothéod settled in the land between the Misty Mountains on the west, the Forest River in the east and the confluence of the rivers Greylin and Langwell in the south. The only fortified burg of the Éothéod was located at the confluence of the Greylin and the Langwell. It is possible that this burg was the settlement known as Framsburg and that it was named after Frumgar's son, Fram. Frumgar was remembered in the songs of the Rohirrim.

Frumgar means "chieftain", "leader", "prince" or "patriarch", literally "first spear" in Old English.

It its a compound of frum ("first") and gár ("spear").

2020: The Lord of the Rings Online:

Frumgar appears in a flashback narrating the history of the Éothéod. He is shown befriending dwarves and Wizards at a young age, and his decision to move his people to the Wells of Langflood is partially motivated by his wife being killed in an Orc raid. It was he who gave Gandalf his northern name by calling him Wandalb, "the Elf of the Wand".
