The Drúedain called themselves ''Drughu''. When the Drúedain settled in [[Beleriand]], the [[Sindar|Sindarin]]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 note 8">''[[Unfinished Tales]]'', "The Drúedain", p. 385, note 8.</ref> Tolkien also used the form ''Drûg'', with a regular English plural ''Drûgs''.<ref name="UT">''Unfinished Tales'', "The Drúedain", p. 377, 379.</ref>
 
''Drughu'' became ''Rú'' in [[Quenya]], with the later suffixed form ''Rúatan'' (plural ''Rúatani'').<ref name="UT note 8"/> The [[Orc (Middle-earth)|Orcs]] called the Drúedain ''Oghor-hai''.<ref name="UT"/> The word used for them by the [[Rohirrim]] during the [[Third Age]] was represented by Tolkien as ''Púkel-men'',<ref>''[[The Return of the King]]'', "The Muster of Rohan".</ref><ref>''Unfinished Tales'', "The Drúedain", p. 384.</ref> which includes the [[Old English|Anglo-Saxon]] word ''púcel'' "goblin, troll" (surviving also in Shakespeare's "Puck" and Kipling's "Pook's Hill").
