In the LotR nomenclature, there are several "genuine English surnames" that appear in the book, where their meaning is related to the story (Bracegirdle, Brockhouse, Fairbarns, Sackville). Places found in the real world (or other writtings) too are Archet, Bamfurlong, Bree, Crack of Doom, Mirkwood. For things' names, we have Lithe and Yule (and all the other Shire Calendar month names) and possibly Pukel.
