Since I couldn't think of any good answer in the last two days, I will post the first thing that occured to me when I saw this, but it is far from an actual answer.
The only thing I thought of is that they have something to do with straw, like straw-berries, or for the Eotheod, being called straw-heads. No idea what could it be with the hobbits, though.
I also thought it may have something to do with the year 1420 SR.
Any close, Miggy? Or, any hints?
