Re: Eomer's comment of Elessar's name. Aragorn was named after the original Elessar ("elfstone") which was forged by Ernerdhil of Gondolin during the First Age of the Sun. This jewl was considered one of the most wonderous creations of that time, for it had the ability to heal that which was old or weary. Later on a replica was made that could make things LOOK young and new, which was later given to Aragorn by the Noldor of Valinor (or more acuratly Nolder -> Gandalf -> Galadriel -> Aragorn). He, like the jewl, could preserve the memory of the eldar, as well as having the toutch of healing. Hence Kind Elessar.
