Ruby Gardner was a Hobbit of the Shire.

History[edit | edit source]

Ruby was the eleventh child of Samwise Gamgee and Rose Cotton.[1]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Ruby follows the custom of noble Hobbit women to be named after jewels, e.g. Ruby Bolger. The jewel ruby derives from Latin rubeus "reddish".[2]
