Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
Amaranth
(Had to do a search to make sure it's a female name.

Amaranth Brandybuck
Aunt of Frodo Baggins. Amaranth Brandybuck was born in 2904. She was the daughter of Gorbadoc Brandybuck and Mirabella Took Brandybuck. Amaranth had an older brother Rory who was the grandfather of Merry Brandybuck. She also had five younger siblings: Saradas, Dodinas, Asphodel, Dinodas, and Primula, mother of Frodo. Amaranth Brandybuck died in 2998.
Etymology:
An amaranth is an annual plant with showy purple or crimson flowers. It is also a poetic term for a flower that never fades.

Source:
Appendix C: Brandybuck genealogy, p. 382

(There is at least one unnamed "h", a hobbit.
