Within Tolkien's fiction, the Drúedain call themselves ''Drughu''. When the Drúedain settled in [[Beleriand]], the [[Sindar]]in Elves adapted this to ''Drû'' (plurals ''Drúin'', ''Drúath'') and later added the suffix ''-adan'' "man", resulting in the usual [[Sindarin]] form ''Drúadan'' (plural ''Drúedain'').<ref name="UT Druedain" group=T>{{harvnb|Tolkien|1980}}, "The Drúedain"</ref> Tolkien also used the form ''Drûg'', with a regular English plural ''Drûgs''.<ref name="UT Druedain" group=T/> ''Drughu'' became ''Rú'' in [[Quenya]], with the later suffixed form ''Rúatan'' (plural ''Rúatani'').<ref name="UT Druedain" group=T/> The [[Orc (Middle-earth)|Orcs]] called the Drúedain ''Oghor-hai''.<ref name="UT Druedain" group=T/> John S. Ryan, writing in ''[[Mallorn]]'', notes that Tolkien also uses the forms "Drúadan Forest" (the home of the Woses) and "Drúwaith-laur" (the Dru-folk's ancient wilderness).<ref name="Ryan 1983">{{cite journal |last1=Ryan |first1=John S. |title=The Pukel-men before Dunharrow |journal=Mallorn |date=September 1983 |url=https://journals.tolkiensociety.org/mallorn/issue/download/48/49}}</ref>
The word used for the Drúedain by the [[Rohirrim]] during the [[Third Age]] is represented by Tolkien as ''Púkel-men''.<ref name="The Muster of Rohan" group=T>{{harvnb|Tolkien|1955}}, Book 5, ch. 3, "The Muster of Rohan".</ref><ref name="UT Druedain" group=T/> This includes the [[Old English]] word ''[[wikt:pucel|pūcel]]'' "goblin, troll", which survives in [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]'s [[Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream)|Puck]] in ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]'', and in two forms in [[Rudyard Kipling|Kipling]]'s ''[[Puck of Pook's Hill]]''.<ref name="Clark Hall Puck">{{cite book |last=Hall |first=J.

Ryan suggests that the Púkel-men may derive from a combination of "Proto-Celts, [[Druid]]-figures, or ... roadside fertility deities". Ryan notes [[Christopher Tolkien]]'s statement that the name Púkel-men is "also used as a general equivalent to Drúedain".<ref name="Ryan 1983"/>
In [[Westron]], the Common Tongue of western Middle-earth, the Drúedain were called the ''Wild Men'', or the ''[Wood-][[Wose]]s'':<ref name="The Ride of the Rohirrim" group=T>{{harvnb|Tolkien|1955}}, Book 5, ch. 5, "The Ride of the Rohirrim"</ref>
