The name is Sindarin for People of the Horse-lords (sometimes translated simply as Horse-lords) and was mostly used by outsiders: the name they had for themselves was Eorlingas, after their king Eorl the Young who had first brought them to Rohan.
The Rohirrim were descended from the Éothéod, a race of Men that lived in the vales of the Great River Anduin, but that removed to Calenardhon which was granted them in perpetuity by the Ruling Steward of Gondor, Cirion in reward for the assistance that they offered Gondor at a time of great need.
They were ruled by a line of kings descended from Eorl the Young, who had first brought them to Rohan, and in time of war every able men rode to meet the Muster of Rohan.
Though Eorl loved best the plains and meadows that spread out from Anduin's vale, he was not averse to the forest nor the river, and in fact was looking forward to a swim.
Eorl was a ruddy, healthy boy but not half-grown, and was soon clutching at the tree branch.

On the behalf of his people, Eorl accepted this deal, swearing the Oath of Eorl and becoming the first King of Rohan.
As Aragorn explains, the rider is Eorl the Young who brought the Rohirrim to the defense of Gondor five hundred years earlier.
