Estella Brandybuck, née Bolger, was a Hobbit of the Shire.
History
Estella was the second child of Odovacar Bolger and Rosamunda Took. She was present at Bilbo's Farewell Party.
Her older brother, Fredegar, was well acquainted with Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Estella eventually married him after the War of the Ring.[1]
Etymology
Jim Allan has suggested that Estella is related to the Spanish Estrella, derived from the Latin stella, both meaning "star".[2]
Other versions of the legendarium
Tolkien added Estella to the family trees in Appendix C in the mid-1960s during the revisions that led to the second edition of The Lord of the Rings. For unclear reasons[3] she did not initially appear in the hardcover edition, but only in the mass-market paperback edition published by Ballantine Books. Estella was finally added to the hardcover edition after an update to the text in 1987.[4]
