The name Baranduin was Sindarin for "golden-brown river". Sindarin is an Artificial language developed by J R R Tolkien. The Hobbits of the Shire originally gave it the punning name Branda-nîn, meaning "border water" in original Hobbitish Westron. In J R R Tolkien 's legendarium, Hobbits are a diminutive race that inhabit the lands of Middle-earth. Westron, or the Common Speech, is an Artificial language developed by J This was later punned again as Bralda-hîm meaning "heady ale" (referring to the colour of its water), which Tolkien renders into English as Brandywine.
To the Hobbits of the Shire, the Brandywine was the boundary between the known and unknown, and even those who lived in Buckland on the immediate opposite shore were considered "peculiar".
No tributaries of the Baranduin are described except those near or in the Shire:
- The Water - central Shire, from the northwest
- The Stockbrook - arises in the Woody End
- River Shirebourne - rises in Green-Hill country, tributary is Thistle Brook
- Withywindle - from the Old Forest
