Fun facts: Argonath is a Sindarin word that comes from Ara (kingly) + Gon (stone) + ath (plural). So the Argonath is the “Kingly Stones. It doesn’t refer to Isildur and Anárion as people but specifically only to their collective statues Btw “Ara” also shows up in Aragorn (“king who’s revered”) and “Gon” also shows up in Gondor (“stone country”)
