Baggins

The Baggins family was a prominent, respectable, and wealthy family of Hobbits that lived in the Shire.
== History ==
The Baggins family lived in the Shire, mostly in or near the town of Hobbiton, hence they were often referred to as the family "Baggins of Hobbiton". They were seen as respectable until Bilbo Baggins set out on the Quest of Erebor with Gandalf the Grey and thirteen Dwarves; when he returned he was seen as odd or queer, but also extremely rich.
Bilbo adopted his "nephew" Frodo Baggins, who inherited the smial of Bag End after Bilbo left. Frodo himself was involved in the Quest of the Ring, which ended the War of the Ring.
The Baggins clan could trace their origin to the first recorded Baggins, one Balbo Baggins, who was born in or near Hobbiton in 1167 of the Shire Reckoning (2767 Third Age). Bilbo was a great-grandson of Balbo, as was Frodo's father Drogo.
After Bilbo and Frodo left Middle-earth, the only recorded Bagginses were the descendants of Bilbo's great-nephew Posco Baggins, although many other descendants of Balbo Baggins were also recorded, under the Sackville-Bagginses, as well as Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck (through various inter-familial marriages).
The name Baggins is a translation in English of the actual Westron name Labingi, which was believed to be related to the Westron word labin, "bag".

==Sackville-Baggins family==
The Sackville-Baggins family was founded by the marriage of Longo Baggins to Camellia Sackville, heiress of the Sackville family headship. Their son, Otho Sackville-Baggins, adopted a double name, kept by his wife Lobelia (née Bracegirdle). They had a son Lotho, who was murdered. At Lobelia's death, the brief-lived family disappeared.
*Otho Sackville-Baggins (TA 2910 - TA 3012) adopted the name of both his parents, effectively founding a new family. His and his son Lotho's ambition was to succeed Bilbo (and later Frodo) as head of the Baggins family; had that happened, Lotho would have called himself 'Baggins-Sackville-Baggins.'
* Lobelia Sackville-Baggins (TA 2918 - TA 3020) married Otho, and had a son, Lotho. Lobelia had tried to claim Bag End together with Otho during Bilbo's disappearance, but could only move in when Frodo sold it to her. Much of Bilbo's silverware vanished during his disappearance; when Bilbo left the Shire permanently, he gave Lobelia a box of silver spoons labeled "For Lobelia, from Cousin Bilbo, as a present." During the War of the Ring, she opposed Saruman, and was imprisoned. Freed after the Scouring of the Shire, Lobelia granted Bag End back to Frodo, and moved back to her original family, She died in 3020, and she was over 100 years old.
*Lotho Sackville-Baggins (TA 2964 - TA 3019), nicknamed "Pimple", became an accomplice of Saruman during the War of the Ring. Trading pipe-weed with Saruman for money, he began buying land in the Southfarthing, where Men from Isengard were stationed. With the aid of these Ruffians, Lotho was able to depose and imprison Will Whitfoot, the Shire's lawful Mayor, and declared himself Chief Shirriff. Under his command the Shire was industrialised. Lotho began to call himself The Boss. However, Lotho was soon stripped of his power, and Saruman took over. Saruman's servant Gríma Wormtongue killed Lotho, and either buried Lotho or ate him.
The name Sackville was a familiar "aristocratic" name in J.R.R. Tolkien's day, especially in double-barrelled names such as Sackville-West, and he presumably used it (and the contrast with the more mundane Baggins) to imply the somewhat snobbish nature of the Sackville-Bagginses. Notes in the guide for translators of the LotR show Tolkien also had the "sack"/"bag" connection in mind, which is kept in most translations, e.g. in Dutch the name becomes Buul-Balings, "buul" and "baal" both being words for sack or bag.
