Ingold A Gondorian named Ingold in the New Line film
Man of Gondor. On March 9, 3019, Ingold was the leader of a group of Men finishing the repairs on the Rammas Echor encircling Minas Tirith. At dawn, Gandalf the White arrived at Forannest - the north-gate - with Peregrin Took. Ingold gave Gandalf leave to enter but he was reluctant to let his companion pass without learning his identity. Pippin informed Ingold that he was a Hobbit and that he had news of the death of Boromir, son of the Steward. Gandalf vouched for Pippin and Ingold sent them through to bring the news to Denethor.
Sauron's forces breached the Rammas Echor on March 13, and Ingold led the last remnant of the guard from the wall to Minas Tirith. He brought news of Enemy battalions that had crossed the Anduin near Cair Andros and held the northward road. Ingold mistakenly surmised that the Rohirrim would no longer be able to come to the aid of Gondor.
Names & Etymology:
The name Ingold was a form of Ingoldo meaning "the Noldo; one eminent among the Elves of the Noldor." Noldor means "the Wise" from ngol meaning "wise, wisdom." Ingoldo was a name used for Finrod of the Noldor, and it was later adapted to Ingold by the Numenoreans and became a common name among the Men of Numenor and Gondor.
