Kuduk
Kuduk (pl. *Kudugin) was the actual Westron word with which the Hobbits called themselves. It is translated as "Hobbit."
Etymology
It is suggested that this developed from an older word, kûd-dûkan, meaning 'hole-builder'. Although the Hobbits called themselves kuduk, they had forgotten the meaning of the word.
Other versions
Before this published word, Tolkien considered the form cûbuc pl. cûbugin which was apparently dropped later.
