'''Marcho''' was one of the two [[Bree]]-[[hobbits]] who founded [[the Shire]] in {{TA|1601}}.  The other was his brother, [[Blanco]].<ref>{{FR|Hobbits}}</ref>
==Etymology==
[[Old English]] and Celtic ''marka'' is an element that refers to "horse" (see ''[[mearas]]'').
 
==Inspiration==
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>
