Riddermark

Riddermark or simply the Mark was the name among the Rohirrim for the land, more commonly known to outsiders as Rohan.

Riddermark means "land of the knights", derived from the Old English compound Riddena-mearc ("riders' mark" or "The Territory of the Knights"). Mark here is used in the sense of "borderland, especially one serving as a defence of the inner lands of a realm".

The original untranslated Rohirric term of the country was Lōgrad.

J.R.R. Tolkien might have been inspired by William Morris's use of 'Mid-mark' in The House of the Wolfings, a book which Tolkien owned and from which he took inspiration.
