-nd is a toponymical ending in Sindarin, an ending "commonly used in the names of regions or countries". Wovels could be attached to the ending, yielding the forms -and, -end, -ond. In names such as Rohan, the -d was dropped, due to its lack of pronunciation in speech.[1][2]

The form also appear as -iann, -ion, and iand.[3]
