True indeed. Even so, other evidence would suggest he was in the minority by living so far north. Even if there was a small settlement in the Wold, the northern boundary of Rohan was the river Limlight. A cursory glance at the maps supplied with
LOTR shows Lórien many miles to the north of that. What reason would any of the Rohirrim have for crossing that river and coming, even by accident, to Lórien? By the same token, is there any evidence the Lórien Elves ever wandered far enough out of the forest to have come into contact with the Men of Rohan?
All references I've seen point to the idea that the Rohirrim had almost no knowledge of Lórien or Galadriel, beyond far off myths and legends from who knows how many centuries back.
