| '''Estella Brandybuck, née Bolger''', was a [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] of [[the Shire]].
| |
| __NOTOC__
| |
| ==History==
| |
| Estella was the second child of [[Odovacar Bolger]] and [[Rosamunda Took]]. She was present at [[Bilbo's Farewell Party]].
| |
|
| |
|
| Her older brother, [[Fredegar Bolger|Fredegar]], was well acquainted with [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]], and Estella eventually married him after the [[War of the Ring]].<ref>{{App|Bolger}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ==Etymology==
| |
| ''Estella'' is Spanish for "star". It is unusual for a female Hobbit to have a name referring to a celestial object.<ref>[[Jim Allan]], ''[[An Introduction to Elvish]]'', "Giving of Names"</ref>
| |
|
| |
| ==Other versions of the Legendarium==
| |
| Estella was a very late addition to the canon. So late, in fact, that [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] did not include her in Merry's genealogy until after the first edition of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' had been published. This late change took many years to be incorporated in all versions of the book, so that many extant copies are missing Estella's name altogether.<ref>{{PM|Trees}}</ref>
