In briefanswer capsule

The sword of Éomer, Third Marshal of the Mark. In the night sortie from the Hornburg during the battle of Helm's Deep he and Aragorn drew together, and Éomer cried its name, Gúthwinë for the Mark, as Aragorn cried Andúril for the Dúnedain; side by side they drove the Dunlendings and orcs from the gate. The name is Old English and means battle-friend, in keeping with the tongue Tolkien gave the Rohirrim.
