Eorl was the great-great-great grandfather of the Old Took, and he got his name as a joke from his rather cruel friends who made fun of him when he got his first grey hair, wrinkle, liver spot, etc.

Why did Gandalf call Pippin a "Fool of a Took" when he knew perfectly well that the Tooks (esp. Pippin) were well-known in their knowledge and logic? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[. . .] For a few of us, there is one more purr, a secret purr. When we combine our secret purrs, we produce the Purr of Power. And that is simply the amplified amity we feel as furred and purred beings.
