There is a deeper understanding to the idea, middle earth is different enough that Tolkien brought in known historical subjects to help understand things. Frodo is old English for smart one, but that's not his actual name. Tolkien used Frodo to explain him, and his name, which is in a completely different language.
That's going to be on my list article, so thanks.
