The elder brother, Fíli, was born in III 2859, so Nori must have been born at least fifty years before that date. 2 The Council of Elrond was held in this year, and Glóin reported to the Council that Nori was still dwelling in the halls of Erebor with King Dáin Ironfoot at that time. 3 Like many other Dwarves in Tolkien's work, Nori's name comes originally from the Old Norse poem Völuspá. The translation is not certain: various sources suggest different interpretations, including 'little scrap', 'turner', or 'shipper'. Given that Dori has a name that seems to mean 'borer', then 'turner' probably makes most sense in context. See also...
