These people were given the name after they settled in the land that had formerly been known as Calenardhon, the green valley of the River Entwash between the Misty Mountains and the White. Bringing skills and knowledge from their old home in the far north, they became renowned for the breeding and riding of horses, and so they became known as the Rohirrim, the Horse-lords of Rohan. Notes 1 The northern forerunners of the Rohirrim, the Men of the Éothéod, had a culture in which horses were just as important as they were in Rohan (indeed Éothéod means 'horse-people'). The term 'horse-lords' might therefore have been meaningfully used before the foundation of Rohan, but as an equivalent of Rohirrim it is only recorded after the establishment of that land in III 2510.
