Theoden

Theoden is a fictional name from J.R.R. Tolkien's works, particularly 'The Lord of the Rings.' It is likely derived from Old English words meaning 'ruler of the people' or 'leader of the nation.'

In Tolkien's legendarium, Theoden is the name of the King of Rohan, a kingdom of horse-lords. He is a pivotal character in the story, initially under the influence of the evil wizard Saruman, but later rallying his people to aid in the fight against Sauron.

The name Theoden has gained popularity among fans of Tolkien's works and those interested in Old English or Anglo-Saxon names. It evokes a sense of leadership, nobility, and bravery.

While not a traditional name with a clear historical origin, Theoden has become a beloved name in modern times, particularly among those drawn to the rich world of Middle-earth created by Tolkien.
