Bucca of the Marish was the first Thaiin of the Hobbits in Eriador.
History
Around S.R. 379, some four years after the fall of the North-kingdom, the Hobbits of the Shire elected from their midst one Bucca of the Marish as the first Thain. He was to rule the land in the King's stead. Little else is known about him, other than that he brought peace and prosperity to the Hobbits.[1]
His family became the Oldbucks and eventually the Brandybucks.
Etymology
The word Bucca is Old English for "buck", "male deer" or "he-goat" which is a translation of the original Westron name Gamba.[2]
