Holman the greenhanded

Holman the greenhanded was a famous gardener of the Shire.

History

Holman of Hobbiton had five children; Rowan, Halfred, Erling, Hending and Rose. He passed his skills and crafts on to his eldest son, Halfred, who formed the surname Greenhand out of his father's nickname.

Etymology

Holman means "hole-man", and is distinct from the real-life English surname which contains holm "river island" rather than hol "hole".
