<p>189.7.146.177: /* Etymology */</p> <hr /> <div>{{cleanup}}<br /> The '''Baggins''' family is a remarkable and rich [[Hobbit]] family.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> The Baggins family lived in [[the Shire]], mostly in or near the town of [[Hobbiton]]. They were seen as respectable until [[Bilbo Baggins]] set out on the quest for [[Erebor]] with [[Gandalf]] the Grey and twelve [[Dwarves]]: when he returned he was seen as odd or queer, but also extremely rich.<br /> <br /> Bilbo adopted his &quot;nephew&quot; [[Frodo Baggins]], who inherited the ''[[smial]]'' of [[Bag End]] after Bilbo left. Frodo himself was involved in the quest of [[The Lord of the Rings]], which ended the [[War of the Ring]].<br /> <br /> The Baggins clan traced their origin to the first recorded Baggins, one ''Balbo Baggins'', who was born in or near Hobbiton in [[Third Age 2767|1167]] of the [[Shire Reckoning]]. <br /> <br /> After Bilbo and Frodo left the only recorded Bagginses are the descendants of Bilbo's great-nephew ''[[Posco Baggins]]'', although many other descendants of Balbo Baggins are also recorded, under the ''[[Sackville-Bagginses]]'', as well as [[Peregrin Took]] and [[Meriadoc Brandybuck]] (through various interfamiliary marriages).<br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The name Baggins is a translation in English of the actual [[Westron]] name ''Labingi'', which was believed to be related to the Westron word ''labin'', &quot;bag&quot;.<br /> <br /> The name Baggins is translated in most translations of [[The Hobbit]] and [[The Lord of the Rings]], often keeping the &quot;bag&quot; or 'sack' meaning:<br /> *In the German translation the family name is Beutlin,<br /> *In the Dutch translation the family name is Balings,<br /> *In the French translation it is Sacquet,<br /> *In the Norwegian translation it is Lommelun,<br /> *In the Finnish translation it is Reppuli,<br /> *In the Spanish translation it is Bolsón,<br /> *In the Swedish translation it is Bagger,<br /> *In the Portuguese translation it is Bolseiro.<br /> <br /> ==Inspirations==<br /> {{quote|Intended to recall bag — cf.
