Marcho was one of the two Bree-hobbits who founded the Shire in T.A. 1601. The other was his brother, Blanco.[1]

Etymology

Old English and Celtic marka is an element that refers to "horse" (see mearas).

Inspiration

The two brothers are perhaps based on Hengest and Horsa, who brought the Saxons to Britany.[2]
