Mirabella was one of the youngest of the Old Took's many sons and daughters - in fact, of twelve children, only her brother Isengar was younger. She married into the Brandybuck clan, becoming the wife of Gorbadoc Brandybuck of Brandy Hall. With Gorbadoc, she had a large family of her own. Among her seven children were Rorimac, Gorbadoc's heir as Master of Buckland, and Primula, who was the ill-fated mother of Frodo Baggins.
Etymology
The name is French and refers to the palm tree fruit. It derives from Latin/Greek myrobalanum/μυροβαλανον which means "unguent-perfume acorn".[source?]
