Eomer led the first, Elfhelm the second, and Grimbold the third.

What word did Rohan originally come from, and what did it mean?

I believe 'Rohan' came from 'Rochande", a Sindarin word meaning...(think, think, think...) either Land of Horses or Green Region...?

Close enough. It was actually Rochand, and it means Horse-land. You're up.

Folcwine did indeed lose two sons in war; however, Theoden lost only (only!) one. That's enough for any parent, isn't it?

I believe Helm Hammerhand is the other half of the answer; his son Haleth fell "last of all, defending the doors" of Meduseld, and Hama died at Helm's Deep.

Symestreem is correct. Theoden lost, as said, "only" one son, while both Folcwine and Helm lost two.

Correct. It seems to have been used in a number of different contexts; there a two different locations that are called the Eotheod, although Rohan is not one of them; also, this quote, "There was no great love between Eotheod and the dwarves."

Merry's gift from Eowyn upon leaving Rohan was what, and who did that gift memorialize?

It was a horn which was said to be taken from Scatha's hoard, and I think it memorialized Theoden.

Well, NightKnight got half the answer correct, Arestevana got the other half correct.

I guess that either one of you can go...whoever goes first wins

What was the name of the man that took kingship over Rohan during the Long Winter?

Rohan + Spaceballs!!

"I am your sister's uncle's son's grandfather's brother's great-great-great-grandfather's uncle's great-great-grandfather's aunt's uncle's ghost! Unfortunately, I had some traumatic experiences shortly before I died, so while I can remember all that, I can't remember my name!" explained the specter to Eomer in his bedchamber one night. The obliging Eomer went to look up his visitor's identity in the Genealogical Tables of Rohan. What did he find?
