'''Anairë''' is a [[fictional character]] of [[Middle-earth]], created by [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]. She is the wife of [[Fingolfin]]. Little is known about her, except that she did not leave [[Aman]] and was friends with [[Eärwen]], [[Finarfin]]'s wife. They had four children, namely [[Fingon]], [[Turgon]], [[Aredhel]], and [[Argon (Middle-earth)|Argon]]. She presumably still resides in Aman.

Anairë does not appear in the ''[[Silmarillion]]'' and Fingolfin is given three children but no wife in the genealogy. She is only mentioned in ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]''.
Even though Anairë was of the Noldor, she did not go with her husband Fingolfin and their children to Middle-earth, but remained behind in Aman with Finarfin's wife Eärwen with whom she was great friends.

The name ''Anairë'' means ''Holiest'' in [[Quenya]]. ''Airë''="holy", ''An-''=superlative [[Prefix (linguistics)|prefix]]. As she never came to Middle-earth, she has no [[Sindarin]] name.
