From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(English) Bear-Keeper. [Old English bera + w(e)ard]
Berward: Some nobles kept bears for the amusement of having them baited. The man who baited them was the Bateman; he in charge of the brutes was the Bearward or Bear man, often spelled Borman. In the household expenses of the Earl of Northumberland in 1511 is “6s. 8d. to the Kings and Queenes Barward, if they have one, when they come to the Earl.” In the Parliamentary Rolls mention is made of the “Beremaster of the Forest of Peake.”
Bears were taken about from town to town, to be baited for public amusement. Bear-baiting was not forbidden by Act of Parliament till 1835. Slender says: “Be there bears in the town?” “Anne. I think there are, sir. I heard them talked of.” Surnames of Barman and Berman remain; also Bates for the Bater’s-man.
