Edain
Adan redirects here; Adan is also the name of a governorate of Yemen. In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Edain (IPA: ) were those men (humans) who made their way into Beleriand in the First Age, and were friendly to the Elves.The Sindarin word Edain (The second syllable is pronounced as English dine rather than English dane; the stress falls on the first syllable), singular Adan (Quenya Atani, Atan) literally meant Second People, and originally referred to all Men, but later it only applied to the Men of Beleriand and their descendants. The Quenya term Atani kept its old meaning.
