<p>193.79.152.55: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Hobbits]][[Category:Bolger]]<br /> A Hobbit family of [[Fallohidish]] origin, associated with the village of [[Budgeford]], on the [[Water]] in the [[Eastfarthing]] of the [[Shire]]. In common with the [[Brandybuck Family|Brandybucks]] and the [[Took Family|Tooks]], the Bolgers had a penchant for heroic names, and so as well as [[Fredegar Bolger|Fredegar]] (the most important Bolger in Tolkien's work), we find such noble names as [[Fastolph Bolger|Fastolph]], [[Gundabald Bolger|Gundabald]] and [[Odovacar Bolger|Odovacar]].</div>

<p>193.79.152.55: Here&#039;s the story... thanks to Arda&#039;s Encyclopedia</p> <hr /> <div>A short-lived family name of the [[Shire]]-hobbits; indeed, [[Hob Gammidge]] is the only recorded hobbit to use the name. It was a corruption of the name of his family's original home, the village of [[Gamwich]]. The name was further corrupted when Hob acquired the nickname '[[Old Gammidgy]]', which in turn gave rise to the family name '[[Gamgee]]'.</div>
