'''Blanco''' was one of the two [[Bree]]-[[hobbits]] who founded [[the Shire]] in [[Third Age 1601]].  The other was his brother, [[Marcho]].<ref>{{FR|Hobbits}}</ref>
==Etymology==
[[Old English]] ''blanca'' means "horse".
==Inspiration==
The two brothers are perhaps based on [[Wikipedia:Hengest|Hengest]] and [[Wikipedia:Horsa|Horsa]], who brought the Saxons to Britany, whose names are relevant to horses.<ref>''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', An etymological excursion among the Shire Folk</ref>.
