Little Folk
From Tolkien Gateway
Little Folk was a term for the Hobbits, especially the Bree-hobbits (q.v.), contrasting them to the Men (the Big Folk) as the two races live together in Bree-land.[1]
At other points, Boromir[2][3] and Celeborn[4] referred to the Hobbits of the Fellowship of the Ring as "little folk", and thus it may be assumed was in common use by men who knew about the Halflings.
