Following the pattern of typical Brandybuck surnames, 'Gorbulas' would be derived from Old Welsh, though its intended meaning - if indeed it has one - is unclear. The Gor- element is perhaps from guar or guor, 'over, above', though this is far from certain. Perhaps the name is designed to simply show a similar phonetic pattern to that of Gorbulas' father Orgulas.
