Tolkien maintained that Meriadoc Brandybuck was not the character's real name, but rather Kalimac Brandagamba. This name is from Westron, the Common Speech of western Middle-earth, which Tolkien represented through English. The nickname "Merry" represents his actual nickname Kali which meant "jolly, gay", and "Meriadoc" serves as a plausible name from which a nickname meaning "happy" could be derived.
It has been asserted that the name Meriadoc could be in itself an allusion to the British nobleman Conan Meriadoc, legendary founder of the house of Rohan in Brittany, since Meriadoc is closely associated with the kingdom of Rohan.
