Estella Brandybuck, née Bolger, was a Hobbit of the Shire.
History
Estella was the second child of Odovacar Bolger and Rosamunda Took. She was present at Bilbo's Farewell Party.
Her older brother, Fredegar, was well acquainted with Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Estella eventually married him after the War of the Ring.[1]
Etymology
Jim Allan has suggested that Estella is related to the Spanish Estrella, derived from the Latin stella, both meaning "star".[2]
Other versions of the Legendarium
Estella was a very late addition to the canon. So late, in fact, that 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.[3]
