What was the name of J.R.R. Tolkien’s youngest child?

Priscilla Tolkien was J.R.R. Tolkien’s youngest child.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Edith Bratt married in 1916 and had four children: John, Michael, Christopher, and Priscilla. Priscilla was born in 1929, making her the youngest member of the family.

The Tolkien children grew up during the period when their father was developing and publishing his major works. Family life, including stories Tolkien told to his children, formed part of the background to The Hobbit. His children also influenced aspects of his creative life, though the characters and events of Middle-earth are not simple portraits of them.

Priscilla later worked to preserve and promote her father’s legacy. The answer is sometimes confused with Edith Tolkien, Tolkien’s wife, or Mabel Tolkien, his mother. Priscilla is specifically the youngest of Tolkien’s four children, while Christopher became especially well known for editing and publishing much of Tolkien’s posthumous literary material.
