Holman "Long Hom" Cotton was a Hobbit of Bywater.
History[edit | edit source]
Holman was the son of Cotman. He moved to Bywater, and took up the family name "Cotton". He became a farmer, which passed to his son, Tom. He also had another son, Will.[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Holman means "hole-man", and is distinct from the real-life English surname[2] which contains holm "river island" rather than hol "hole".[3]
