When I was young, I was playing some of those classic stock Windows games on a 98, and when I finished a game, it asked me to put in a name. I randomly hit the keyboard and Jex appeared. That stuck with me.
The circumflex e is used in Welsh (uncommon) and is a long, stressed e, like in air.

Tar, as we know, was the prefix used for kings of Númenor, and my personality matches that of a leader/dictator, so I decided that it was fitting in the context of Tolkien.
