Chubb family

From Tolkien Gateway
(Redirected from Chubb Family)

The Chubb family was a family of Shire-hobbits, of whom several were present at Bilbo Baggins' Farewell Party.[1] Their main connection with the Baggins family was through Bilbo's grandfather, the Old Took, whose wife Adamanta Chubb was mother to no fewer than twelve children, including Bilbo's mother Belladonna.

Marriage into the Took and Baggins families, as well as the usage of exotic flower names and jewels, suggest that the Chubbs were of higher class.[2]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Chubb is associated with the word 'chubby', round and fat in bodily shape, like Hobbits usually are.

Chubb is a real-life English surname.[3]
