The Bolger Family was a Hobbit family of Fallohidish origin[1] associated with the village of Budgeford, on The Water in the Eastfarthing of the Shire.[2] In common with the Brandybucks and the Tooks, the Bolgers had a penchant for heroic names,[1] and so as well as Fredegar, we find such noble names as Fastolph, Gundabald and Odovacar.
Etymology
The name Bolger is a reference to the "bulged" size of the average Hobbit belly, referring to their fatness and tubbiness and presumably begun as a nickname.[3]
Both Bolger and Bulger are real-life English surnames although not necessarily of the same etymology.
It was a translation of Westron Bolgra of similar meaning.
