Barbedor Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Barbedor in Leland’s copy) where we find it joined to Brette, the next name, curiously transformed into “Broth.” It is impossible to identify this knight of the golden beard, even though bearded men were rare enough to be signalized in the Conqueror’s army. Humphrey de Bohun was “Humphrey with the Beard:” Robert de Umfraville “Robertus Barbatus;” and the “Hugo Barbatus” entered in Domesday is supposed by Sir Henry Ellis and others to have been Hugh de Montfort. But him he assuredly could not be, for Hugh de Montfort with the Beard was slain in single combat with Walkelin de Ferrers more than thirty years before the Conquest. (See Wace.) Though the colour of the beard is in no case given, it is possible that the Hugo Barbatus of Domesday was this Barbe d’ Or; but this can obviously be no more than a suggestion. Hugo was a baron in Hampshire.

Be this as it may, Barbedor occurs as a surname in the early part of Edward I.’s reign. Robert Barbedor was of Kent, William Barbedor of Kent and Northamptonshire, and Roger Barbedor of Kent and Huntingdonshire c. 1272.—Rotuli Hundredorum.
