After that great battle, not only did Húrin fail to return, but his land of Dor-lómin was occupied by Easterlings. Morwen had sent away her only surviving child, Túrin, to be fostered in Doriath, and so she was dwelling alone - but for a few remaining servants - when her daughter was born. Because of the death (as she thought) of her husband Húrin, and the loss of Dor-lómin, she gave her child the name Niënor, which comes from the Elvish for 'Mourning'.
