How did Tolkien create hobbits?
By Tolkien’s own account, the coining of the name hobbit was a spontaneous flash of intuition. When he was busy grading examination papers, the word popped into his mind, not in isolation but as part of an entire sentence, which was to become the incipit of The Hobbit, “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.”
Did Hobbits exist when the rings were created?
The earlies mention of the Hobbits (also known as the Periannath) dates back to the year 1050 of the Third Age, which happened significantly later than the creation of the Rings. This is the main reason why the Hobbits didn’t get a Ring – they did not exist at the time.
