Specifically hobbit-hole is the common word for them but Tolkien also calls them smials. JRR Tolkien explains it in the Prologue Concering Hobbits of The Fellowship of the Ring and Appendix F On Translations in The Return of the King.

It's a word he invented based on an Old English word. In the world Tolkien has created, the word is translated to English by Tolkien so we can understand it. The Hobbitish word he translated is tran which is related to the Rohirric word trahan meaning burrow.

There were hobbit holes or smails. These were lived in by the very poorest and the very richest hobbits. The middle class hobbits lived in small cottage type homes. Bilbo and Frodo were very wealthy and had one of the nicest hobbit holes around.
