If this is an idiot question, please say so.

Does Gollum, later Smeagol's nickname, mean anything? I know it is the approximate spelling of the chocking sound that Smeagol used to make. But why did he make those noises? And what were they meant to express? What does the resonance of the word evoke? One thing is certain: they were provoked by the sight (and possession) of the Ring. Does anybody know for sure or care to speculate about this?
