Geocache Description:

Congrats to TJTucson1 for FTF! This is the 2nd in a series of 12, commemorating Gimli's Fellowship in LOTR. Bring a writing stick!

Frodo as a name is associated with Old English fród, meaning 'wise by experience'. The derivation of Frodo's name is explained in Tolkien's Letters (No 168, dated 1955), where he also explains that '...it had mythological connexions with the legends of the Golden Age in the North.' This seems to be a reference to King Fróði of the Danes, whose reign was legendary for its prosperity and fruitfulness.
