Etymology

The word 'hobbit' was first introduced by J.R.R. Tolkien in his novel 'The Hobbit' published in 1937. It is believed to be a blend of 'hole' and 'rabbit', reflecting the hobbits' preference for living in underground homes similar to burrows. Tolkien's hobbits have since become iconic fantasy characters, known for their simplicity, bravery, and sense of adventure.
