The name given by [[Hobbits]] to the river the [[Elves]] called [[Baranduin]]
#REDIRECT [[Baranduin]]
 
The English name 'Brandywine' is meant to be a translation of the [[Westron]] words ''Branda-nîn'' (borderland-water) and ''Bralda-hîn'' (heady ale), both being [[Hobbitish]] alterations of the original Elvish name ''Baranduin''.
 
The name ''Brandywine'' therefore both resembles the original word ''Baranduin'', and expresses the Hobbitish meanings as well, consisting thus an ideal translation from Westron.
