Gamling

Gamling (Bruce Hopkins) in The Lord of the Rings.

In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, Gamling is a Man of Rohan. He appears in The Two Towers, the second volume of The Lord of the Rings. An older man (he is called "Gamling the Old"), he was from the Westfold.

Gamling means "old man" in Old English, (cf. OE gamol "old") which is used to represent the language of Rohirric. Thus "Gamling" is not the character's actual name. Nevertheless, it is a linguistic pun reflecting the character's age. The word and its meaning still survive in modern Scandinavian languages such as; Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Icelandic.
