question
I am trying to find out the name of the horse belonging to the son of King Theoden of Rohan. The horse was briefly featured in a scene in The Two Towers as the people of Rohan were preparing to leave for Helms Deep. Do you know the meaning of this name?

'Banshee'... you'll find that this thread belongs in the "movie forum", but to answer your question, I believe the name was 'Brego'. I'm not sure of the actual meaning (it might be old Anglo-Saxon) - but they took the name from the second king of Rohan for the horse.

It's "Brego," which is Anglo-Saxon (Old English) for "king," or "kingly," as Aragorn says in TTT:EE.

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.
