Otho's father Longo was Bilbo Baggins' uncle, making Otho himself Bilbo's cousin and heir. He and his wife Lobelia eagerly anticipated their inheritance: Bilbo's home at Bag End. Otho would never inherit that smial, though, because Bilbo changed his will to make Frodo Baggins his heir. Eventually, Frodo sold Bag End to Lobelia, but Otho had died six years earlier, and never owned the home he had coveted throughout his life. Notes 1 Otho is Latin, of unknown meaning (it was the name of the seventh Emperor of Rome, who reigned for just three months in the year 69). In the context of Tolkien's work, whereas many Hobbit-names are translated into anglicised versions, it seems that this Hobbit was actually called Otho in the Shire (though as a masculine name it would actually have been Otha to the Shire-hobbits).
