Men of Rohan

The descendant of Eorl and his followers

The people of Rohan were descended from the so-called Middle Peoples, Men who shared an ancient kinship with the ancestors of the Edain. Note that the detailed descent of the Northmen is rather more complex than shown here, and according to some readings the Men of Rohan were ultimately descended from the 'Edain' branch of this tree. See the entry for 'Northmen' for a detailed discussion on this topic.

The Rohirrim

A name given to the mounted soldiery of Rohan, known in their own tongue as the Éoherë, and in Elvish as the Rohirrim. This is a very rare name for these people, in fact used only once by Pippin in Minas Tirith, and so it may simply represent Pippin's ignorance of the proper titles for this people. [2]

The people of Rohan. Originally descended from the Éothéod of the North. When Eorl was granted the land of Rohan, his people became known as the Rohirrim, from the Elvish for 'People of the Horse-lords'. [3]
