Frodo Gamgee or Frodo Gardner was the son of Samwise Gamgee and Rose Cotton Gamgee. He took the last name of Gamgee after his father became the Shire's gardener. He owned Bag End for a time.

History
Son of Sam Gamgee. Frodo Gamgee, born in the year 2 of the Fourth Age, was the second child and eldest son of Sam and Rose Cotton Gamgee. He had an older sister Elanor and eleven younger siblings: Rose, Merry, Pippin, Goldilocks, Hamfast, Daisy, Primrose, Bilbo, Ruby, Robin, and Tolman.

Sam Gamgee came to be known as Sam Gardner because of his skill at gardening and his role in replanting the Shire after the War of the Ring. His son Frodo took Gardner as his family name.

Frodo Gardner probably inherited Bag End after his father left Middle-earth in the year 61. From Frodo were descended the Gardners of the Hill including his son Holfast Gardner, born in 41 F.A., and his grandson Harding of the Hill.
