Isengrim Took I[note 1] was a Hobbit of the Shire.
History
Isengrim presumably lived in the first millennium of the Shire Reckoning during which he became Thain, sometime after Isumbras I.[1]
Etymology
Isengrim is of Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from isen meaning "iron" and grim meaning "fierce".
Isengrim is the name of a wolf who appears in many medieval epics, including the story of Reynard the Fox which originated in French folklore.[2]
Notes
- ↑ The existence of this character can only be deduced based on the ordinals in Appendix C, "Took of Great Smials". There is an Isengrim II, but no I is recorded in the incomplete family tree.
