In briefanswer capsule

Húrin of Emyn Arnen was Steward of King Minardil (1621–34) and of distinguished Númenórean stock. The stewards' family took from him the designation House of Húrin. Subsequent kings of Gondor filled that office only with men of his line; after Pelendur it became hereditary in the fashion of a kingship, descending to son or nearest kin.
