Frodo Gardner was the second child and eldest son of Samwise Gamgee and Rose Cotton.[2]

History[edit | edit source]

It was always Sam's intention to name one of his children after his best friend, Frodo Baggins. Though his first child was a girl, he named the second one Frodo.[1]

Frodo became the head of Gardner Family and inherited Bag End. His son was Holfast Gardner.[2]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

In the King's Letter, King Elessar mentions his name in Sindarin as Iorhael.[3]

Portrayal in adaptations[edit | edit source]

2009: The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest:

Frodo Gamgee is the main playable character. He runs around Hobbiton completing tasks and talking to characters, whilst also re-living the Aragorn's adventures (as retold) by Sam. When sitting down with his father, the player can control Aragorn in a fairy tale-like setting.
