About this entry:
The eldest child and only daughter of Axantur of Númenor. She was born into a lesser line of the House of Elros (being a descendant of Nolondil, the youngest son of Vardamir Nólimon) and was a contemporary of her distant cousin Tar-Meneldur, the fifth King of Númenor. Lindissë had two younger brothers, Ardamir and Cemendur.

Lindissë's name is not directly explained, but it seems to combine lin(d), 'music, song' with a feminine ending (n)dissë, 'woman', so the full name apparently translates as something like 'songstress'.
