Háma son of Helm

From Tolkien Gateway

This article is about the son of Helm. You may be looking for the guard of Meduseld called Háma.

Háma was the second son of Helm Hammerhand. When the Dunlendngs invaded Rohan in 2758, Háma took refuge in Helm's Deep with his father. During the Long Winter Helm was besieged and the Rohirrims' were running low and the people began to starve. So Háma led a group out of the fortress on a sortie to find food, but they got lost in a snow storm and never returned.

[edit] Etymology

Háma in Old English means "of home".
