Does anyone know any names from these races? Or even some names that sound like they fit. Particulary for the Wainriders.

The only Easterling name that I know of is Khamul,Shadow of the East.He was the Second in charge of the Nazgul.

I don't think they gave specific names, besides Kings Of Men.

We know the name of at least one Easterling apart from Khamûl the Nazgûl: Brodda, who marries Húrin's kinswoman Aerin, and whom Túrin kills on his return to Hithlum.

My admittedly cursory examination of the appendices to The Lord of the Rings and The History of Middle-Earth have turned up no names for any Wainriders.

I am not aware of the names of any Haradrim or Wainraiders. However here is quote naming a couple of Black Numeneoreans. probably? mixed in Origin with Haradrim.

"Herumor and Fuinur, who rose to power among the Haradrim


And what about Ulfang and his comodity? Weren't they easterling too?

Angamaite and Sangahyando were Castamirs grandsons.

Herumor and Fuinur are Quenya names.

According to Helge Fauskanger, Herumor means "Black Lord" and Fuinur is derived from fuinë "shadow".

According to The New Shadow, someone who calls himself Herumor is active in the Fourth Age, but that's another story... smilies/wink.gif

Thanks all for the replies. It's interesting that Tolkien didn't name the bad guys except a couple of main ones. It probably has something to do with him not studying their languages.
