'''Peregrin Took''' ([[Third Age]] 2990 - at least [[Fourth Age]] 64; 1390 - 1484 in [[Shire Reckoning]], reaching at least 94-years-old{{ref|2}}) was one of the [[Hobbits]] in the [[Fellowship of the Ring]]. He was the youngest of the Company, being in his tweens, but grew up quickly and eventually became a Knight of Gondor. [[Elrond]], at least, seemed to doubt his capability for the quest, but Pippin proved to be a loyal and courageous friend.

==Heritage and Family==
He was born in the [[Third Age]] [[Third Age 2990|2990]] (1390 in [[Shire Reckoning]]) to [[Paladin Took II|Paladin Took]] and [[Eglantine Banks]], making him a great-great-grandson of [[The Old Took]]. Pippin was not destined to become Thain, but his father inherited the title in S.R. 1415 from [[Ferumbras Took III]] when he died without an heir. Pippin had three older sisters, [[Pearl Took]], [[Pimpernel Took]], and [[Pervinca Took]].{{ref|3}}

Through his father, Pippin was a first cousin of [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] (the future [[Master of Buckland]]), the second-cousin once-removed of [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]], and the first-cousin twice-removed of [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]]. He was not blood-related to [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]], but Pippin's son [[Faramir Took I|Faramir]] married Sam's daughter [[Goldilocks Gardner|Goldilocks]] in 1463.

==Names and Titles==
* '''Peregrin''' - [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s translation of Pippin's Westron name, and is derived from Latin and was used for people who wandered. The English word "pilgrim" is derived from the same root. {{ref|7}}
* '''Pippin''' - a nickname most often used by Tolkien and fans alike. A 'pet-form' related to the Westron abbreviation ''Razar''; pippin is a type of apple related to the word "pip" - perhaps illustrating that Pippin was the youngest member of the Fellowship.
* '''Thain Peregrin I''' - Pippin's 'regal' name when he became the [[Thain of the Shire]].
* '''[[Razanur TÃ»k]]''' - Peregrin's true [[Westron]] name, and contains the elements ''raza'' "stranger", and ''razan'' "foreign", and is the name of a legendary traveller. {{ref|8}}
* "''Fool of a Took''" and "''Tom-fool of a Took''" - given to him by [[Gandalf]] for his often mischievous behaviour, and, in particular, for dropping the stone down the well in [[Moria]].
* ''[[Ernil i Pheriannath]]'' - [[Sindarin]] for "Prince of the Halflings", a erroneous title given to Pippin by the people of [[Minas Tirith]] on the belief he must be of high importance to be travelling with Gandalf.
* [[Guard of the Citadel]] - the office Pippin held when he swore fealty to [[Denethor II|Denethor]].
* Knight of Gondor - a position which Aragorn confirmed Pippin held{{ref|9}}, it is unclear whether being a Guard of the Citadel equates to being a Knight or if Aragorn elevated him to that position.
* Counsellor of the North-kingdom - a position granted to Pippin when he became Thain.
