Also as a pp said, in the book/movie it is just the name of a country there.

In LOTR it's Rohan, a kingdom. I liked it for a boys name, but DH vetoed. We ended up having a girl, but I think it's even cuter as a girl's name. From my old notes: Rohan: Irish and Sanskrit origin. The meaning of Rohan is "red-haired, red; ascending". Rowan: as a girl's name (also used as boy's name Rowan), is pronounced ROH-an. It is of Gaelic origin, and the meaning of Rowan is "red-berry tree". -or- The name "rowan" is derived from the Old Norse name for the tree, raun. Linguists believe that the Norse name is ultimately derived from a proto-Germanic word *raudnian meaning "getting red" and which referred to the red foliage and red berries in the autumn.

I think Brooke Shields daughter has that name too? I've never heard it used elsewhere, so I would assume it's a girl if I heard that name.
