Ailinel)
In the fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien, Soronto is a nobleman of the royal lineage of Númenor, the grandson of Tar-Meneldur and son of Ailinel, a sister of Tar-Aldarion. He lived during the later years of the first millennium of the Second Age. His father was Orchaldor, a descendant of the House of Hador. Soronto's name apparently means 'Eagle' or 'Eagle-friend'.
Before the change in Númenor's law that turned the order of succession into cognatic primogeniture, Soronto was heir presumptive to the throne. Tolkien intended to write a story about Tar-Aldarion's daughter Tar-Ancalimë and her nephew Soronto, and how she married only to take away Soronto's chances at the throne. However this narrative never got further than a few notes which are gathered in the Unfinished Tales.
