Girdley Island
Girdley Island was an island located in the Brandywine River, north of the Brandywine Bridge.
Etymology
David Salo suggests a possible Old Hobbitish etymology from *Gyrdlieg "girdle-island". "Girdle" probably refers to its being 'girdled' (enclosed) between the river-branches.
As in Rushey, the ending -ey means "island" in Old Norse and is found in English island names (cf. Gurnsey).
Portrayal in adaptations
2007: The Lord of the Rings Online:
The Girdley Island sits on the border between in-game regions of Shire and Bree-land. It is identified as a point of interest, but is not part of any quest or achievement, nor are there any enemies found on it.
