Saradoc was also the father of Meriadoc of the Company of the Ring, so making Berilac Merry's cousin. Notes 1 The name Berilac is Celtic in origin (like many of the names of the Brandybucks) but its intended meaning, if indeed it has one, is unclear. It was perhaps influenced by Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a medieval romance studied and translated by Tolkien. In that tale, the titular Green Knight is named Bertilak (with various alternative spellings such as Bercilak, though none exactly corresponding to Berilac). If this speculative connection is correct, then the name perhaps derives from a Celtic word for 'rogue' or 'churl'.
