Cotman was a Hobbit.
History
Cotman was born in S.R. 1260, the son of Cottar. He had one brother named Carl. They were ancestors of the Cottons of Bywater.
He married Rose, the daughter of Holman the greenhanded, and their son (also called Holman) was the first Hobbit to use the family-name of Cotton.[1]
Etymology
The name is a translation of Westron Hlothram. His name means "cottage dweller".[2]
Cotman is also a real-life surname, of similar meaning.[3]
