From Beauchamp, in the Cotentin, part of the Barony of St. Denis le Gaste (De Gerville, Anc. Chateaux). This family was a branch of the Barons of St. Denis, and of the same race as the Meurdracs, Montagues, and Grenvilles, which were armorially identified. The history of the Beauchamps, Barons of Bedford, Earls and Dukes of Warwick, &c., is too well known to be dwelt on. Hence the Baronets Beauchamp.
A Norman name: From the Domesday Book, de Belcamp.
