Narsil was the name of the sword of Elendil, the father of Isildur. The sword was broken in the Battle on the slopes of Mount Doom at the end of the Second Age. All that remained of the sword were shards, the Shards of Narsil.
In the Third Age the shards were kept in Rivendell and a couple of days before the Fellowship set out from Rivendell the elves reforged the sword. Aragorn then renamed it Anduril, which means Flame of the West.
