Grimbeorn

Grimbeorn became a great lord in his own right. Like his father, he was the chieftain of the Beornings and he dwelt in the same regions of the Vales of Anduin. During his time, the High Pass and the Ford of Carrock were kept open and no Orc or Warg dared to enter his land.

Grimbeorn is an Old English name, which means "fierce-warrior" or "severe-prince".

Grim (like in modern English) means "fierce" or "severe" in Old English. For the meaning of beorn refer to Beorn - Etymology.
