Wilcome "Jolly" Cotton was a Hobbit of Bywater.

History

Wilcome was born in S.R. 1384, named after his uncle Will.[1] Jolly and his brother helped their father fend off Sharkey's ruffians, and actively participated in the revolt and Battle of Bywater.[2]

Etymology

From Old English willa "pleasure" + cuma "guest"; Wilcuma is a welcome guest. Jolly comes from Old French jolif "merry, happy", which is cognate to the word yule.[3]

Portrayal in Adaptations

2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game):

Wilcome lives at number 5, South Lane, in Bywater.
