The Boffin Family was a prominent family of the Shire, associated with the region of the Yale in the Eastfarthing. Important members include Berylla Boffin, who was an ancestor of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, and Folco Boffin, who helped Frodo in his move from Bag End.
Etymology
The name Boffin is a rendition into English of Westron Bophîn, of unknown meaning. An early idea by Tolkien was to translate it "Loffin", as Bophîn (at that time) had a connection to "Laugh".
