'''Marcho''' was one of the two [[Bree]]-[[hobbits]] who founded the [[Shire]] in [[Third Age 1601]]. The other was his brother, [[Blanco]].<br />
==Etymology==<br />
[[Old English]] and Celtic ''marka'' is an element that refers to "horse" (see ''[[mearas]]'').<br />
<br />
==Inspiration==<br />
The two brothers are perhaps based on [[Wikipedia:Hengest|Hengest]] and [[Wikipedia:Horsa|Horsa]], who brought the Saxons to Britany.<ref>[[Jim Allan]], ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', "An etymological excursion among the Shire Folk"</ref><br />
