Bolger family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Bolger (anglicization of Bolgra, name of unknown meaning in Hobbitish Westron) family are a Hobbit family of Fallohidish origin, associated with the village of Budgeford, on the Water in the Eastfarthing of the Shire. In common with the Brandybucks and the Tooks, the Bolgers had a penchant for heroic names, and so as well as Fredegar Bolger (the most important Bolger in Tolkien's work), we find such noble names as Fastolph, Gundabald and Odovacar.
