Frodo Gardner was the second child and eldest son of Samwise Gamgee and Rose Cotton.[2]
History[edit]
It was always Sam's intention to name one of his children after his best friend, Frodo Baggins. Though his first child was a girl, he named the second one Frodo.[1]
Frodo became the head of Gardner Family and inherited Bag End. His son was Holfast Gardner.[2]
Etymology[edit]
In the King's Letter, King Elessar mentions his name in Sindarin as Iorhael.[3]
Portrayal in adaptations[edit]
2009: The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest:
- Frodo Gamgee is the main playable character. He runs around Hobbiton completing tasks and talking to characters, whilst also re-living the Aragorn's adventures (as retold) by Sam. When sitting down with his father, the player can control Aragorn in a fairy tale-like setting.
