Bilbo and Frodo share the surname Baggins in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
The Bagginses are a respectable Hobbit family from Hobbiton in the Shire. Bilbo inherits Bag End, the distinctive home built into a hill, and Frodo later becomes its occupant and the Ring-bearer. Their adventures contrast with the family’s reputation for comfort and caution.
The surname is often mixed up with other important Hobbit family names. The Tooks are associated with Bilbo through his mother, Belladonna Took, while Frodo’s friend Samwise belongs to the Gamgee family. The Brandybucks are another prominent Shire family, connected to Frodo through his mother, Primula Brandybuck.
