Bandy Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Leland gives it Baudyn, which would appear to be but a duplicate of Baudoin or Bawdewyn. It probably stands for Bondy, from a place so named near St. Denis, Isle de France. Ralph de Bondé occurs in Palgrave’s Rotuli Curia Regis of 1199. Robert de Bundy founded Bradley Priory, Leicestershire, in the time of King John. There was a family of Bendys in Staffordshire, that bore Argent two bars Azure each charged with three martlets. “Shutt-End,” says Erdeswick, “is an old house, formerly of the Bendys.” William Bendy of Holbeach left two daughters his co-heirs: and another William Bendy, of King’s Swinford, was Clerk of the Peace for the county, and died in 1684. William Bondi, of Bedfordshire, and Thomas Bundi, of Shropshire, occur in the Rotuli Hundredorum, c. 1272. Richard Bundy, in 1313, appears in Palgrave's Parliamentary Writs as “manucaptor of John Pistor, Burgess returned for Guilford.”

The arms of Bondy: Or a bend, and on the sinister side two bendlets Vert, are preserved by Robson.
