Balde Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(German), Bold. Baldwin (English), Bold in battle. (variant: Forti- guerra.)
User-submitted Reference
Balde (also spelled Baldé) is a surname of Fula (Fulani) origin, found most densely in the Casamance region of southern Senegal, as well as in Guinea-Bissau and Guinea-Conakry. It is particularly associated with the Fula sub-group known as the Fulbe Firdu. Unlike the northern nomadic Fula clans, the Balde lineage is historically sedentary and agricultural. The name acts as a geographic marker; while a 'Diallo' or 'Sow' might be found anywhere in West Africa, a 'Balde' almost invariably signals roots in the Upper Casamance or Fouta Djallon highlands.
