Baynham Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. —Ab-Eignon' (Welsh), i.e. 'the son of Eignon' or 'Ennion.' Robert ap Eignon had for his son Robert Baynham, of Chorewall, in the forest of Dean. Henceforward the family were so known (vide Visitation of Gloucestershire, 1633). The name looks wonderfully English and local, but, as shown, is not so. Beynon, Binyon, and Benyon, which see, are other forms; but not Bunyan, I think.
