Bond Surname Name Meaning, Origin, History, & Etymology
This is an English (or rather, Anglo-Scandinavian, or even Icelandic) occupational last name for a husbandman, peasant farmer, or “house-holder”, deriving from the Middle English word bonde, Old English bonda or bunda, and the Old Norse or Viking bóndi. However, the underlying Germanic word has a disputed meaning and origin. Germanic people who settled in England after the Norman Invasion of 1066 AD settled on lands and lived agricultural lives. The land was held from, and bound by loyalty, to a lord in the feudal system. They were not serfs, as they were free landholders, which is evidenced by reference to ones in the Domesday Book (a survey of England and Wales ordered by William the Conqueror in 1086 AD) as liber homo, which is Latin for “free man”. As the Middle Ages progressed, the name became associated with bound servitude. However, as demonstrated lower down the page, there were plenty of Bond family members in the gentry or aristocracy. Some claim the name was first found in Somerset in Taunton, Devon. It is believed the name started as a personal (first) name.
