Gorhendad Oldbuck was the founder of Buckland and of the Brandybuck family.
History
Gorhendad Oldbuck of the Marish crossed the Brandywine in S.R. 740[1] and founded Buckland and Brandy Hall. In honor of their new land, he changed his family name to Brandybuck. He ruled the land as his own realm, and his family became even wealthier than they already were.[2] Their removal from the Shire meant Thainship passed to the Took Family.[3]
Etymology
Gorhendad is the translation of Westron Ogmandab[4] (in an earlier manuscript version spelled Ogforgad[5]) which, according to Stoor tradition, used to mean "great-grandfather".[5] Gorhendad is the modern Welsh word for "great-grandfather".[6][7]
