Pippin Gardner was a Hobbit of the Shire.

History[edit | edit source]

Pippin was the third son and fifth child of Samwise Gamgee and Rose Cotton, born in S.R. 1429.[1] He was named after Pippin Took at the suggestion of Frodo Baggins.[2]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Pippin is a translation of Razan, a Westron word for a small type of apple.[3] In Sindarin, the name Pippin is Cordof.[4][note 1]

Notes
