Dora Baggins was the aunt of Frodo Baggins.
[edit] History
Her parents were Fosco Baggins and Ruby Bolger. She had two younger brothers, Dudo Baggins and Drogo Baggins, the father of Frodo.[1]
Dora enjoyed writting letters filled with advice to her relations, and in memory of this correspondence Bilbo Baggins gave her a waste-paper basket when he left the Shire in S.R. 1401.[2] She attended his Farewell Party at the age of 99. Dora Baggins died five years later in 1406.[1]
[edit] Etymology
The name Dora was meaningless in contemporary Hobbitish Westron. It represented an original name Doro or Dore.[3]
