Meaning & History

Anglicized form of Þráinn.

Tolkien used this name for two characters. Thráin I, son of Náin I, was the king of Durin's Folk and founder of the Kingdom under the Mountain. Thráin II, son of Thrór, was the king of Durin's Folk and the father of Thorin Oakenshield. Tolkien took the name from the Dvergatal "Catalogue of Dwarves" in the Völuspá, a part of the Poetic Edda.
