Rethe

The third month of the Shire Calendar, lying between Solmath and Astron, and approximately corresponding to modern 21 February through 22 March.

Etymology

The name represents a modernization of the Old English name for March, Hreþmōnaþ, meaning "rough-month".

Alternatively, the name could mean "Storm-month", according to Dr. Eleanor Parker's reading of J.R.R. Tolkien's commentary on the word "Hreðmanna" in Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary.
