Lúthien (son of Telimektar)

Lúthien was the name of the son of the Vala Telimektar, according to the early version of the legendarium in one of the outlines of The Book of Lost Tales.

In that outline, Tol Eressëa is no longer identified with England as is the case in most of the Lost Tales. And instead of Ottor Wǽfre, it is a mariner called Ælfwine from Luthany who arrives to Tol Eressëa - who in one of the notes associated with the above outline, is called Lúthien by the Elves living there, for his love of the constellation of Orion (identified with Telimektar, the father of Lúsion/Lúthien).

Etymology

The name Lúthien is in Gnomish. It is explained as meaning "friend" in most of the contemporary outlines, and "wanderer" in others.

An alternative name Lúsion is also given in the same text in which the character appears, which might be the Qenya cognate of Lúthien.
