culture

图克 (Took) is the family name of one of the most adventurous hobbit clans in J.R.R. Tolkien's 《指环王》(Lord of the Rings) — Peregrin 'Pippin' Took (皮平·图克) is one of the four hobbits of the Fellowship. Tooks were proud of their fairy-tinged ancestry, supposedly descending from a hobbit who married a fairy.

图 (tú) + 克 (kè) ≈ 'Tu-ke' → Took. The 克 character is the catch-all phonetic for English '-k', '-ck' or '-x' final sounds (马克 Mark, 杰克 Jack).
