Mirabella Brandybuck, née Took, was a Hobbit of the Shire.
History[edit]
Mirabella was one of the Old Took's many children, and his youngest daughter.[1] She married Gorbadoc Brandybuck, and had seven children: Rorimac, Amaranth, Saradas, Dodinas, Asphodel, Dinodas and Primula.[2]
Etymology[edit]
The name is French and refers to the palm tree fruit.[3]
The name participates in a circular wordplay with the names of her sisters, Donnamira and Belladonna, all Italian names.
