Called "The Carrok" by the Beornings, but all significant stone formations rising amid the waters of Anduin were carrocks (the largest one was Tol Brandir). |

Yes, it's the rock near Beorn's place. As far as I know, it's not an actual word.

It was called 'The Carrock' because Carrock is his name for it!

Did Beorn just pick random names for the stuff he considered his?

I think he picked names from special languages from animals or something. Since he can become a bear, maybe "carrock" means "rock" or "stone" in bear-language. Or maybe the word "carrock" had some special signifigance in his past.
As for the answer to the main question, the carrock is this big rock formation near Beorn's land.

Maybe because he didn't really care about men, he didn't accept their terminology as the definite names. Like I won't accept the word 'Googleplex' because I invented a better word before I'd heard the stupid term...
