Upbourn was a hamlet located in Rohan, south of Edoras on the banks of the Snowbourn in the valley of Harrowdale.[1]
Etymology
The name is a modernisation of the Old English Upburnan as would represent Rohirric.[2]
It derives from the fact that the hamlet was some way "up" the river Snowbourn.[2]
As Tolkien noted, up- is used in English place-names for river-side villages (as Upavon in Wiltshire), especially in contrast to larger places near its mouth (as Upwey above Weymouth).[2]
