Frodo, the ring-bearer in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, has the surname Baggins. Frodo Baggins is Bilbo Baggins’s cousin and adopted heir, and he inherits the One Ring when Bilbo leaves the Shire.
Frodo’s home is Bag End, a comfortable smial in Hobbiton. His family name identifies him with the Bagginses, a respectable Hobbiton family known for predictable habits and domestic comfort. This background makes Frodo’s eventual journey especially significant: he begins as an unlikely traveler rather than a warrior or ruler.
The other surnames in the choices are also important Hobbit names. The Tooks are associated with Frodo’s mother, Primula Brandybuck, while Meriadoc Brandybuck is one of his companions. Samwise Gamgee, whose surname is Gamgee, becomes Frodo’s closest companion on the journey. These family names are therefore easy to confuse, but only Baggins identifies the Ring-bearer himself.
