Kaunt Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This family is mentioned as early as 1153-1194 in the Durham Bolden Buke (a survey of his diocese ordered by Bishop Hugh Pudsey) where it is said that "Gilbert the Chamberlain held the service of Ralfe Caunt, of Bursebred, in exchange for the Isle of Bradbere.” In Bishop Hatfield’s time (1345-1381) Henry de Kaunt held lands in Kyo. The name is found up to the middle of the 17th century. I am, however, doubtful whether it is the one really intended; as Leland, in his list, gives this and the next as Gaunt et Garre. (See Gaunt.)
A Norman name: From the Domesday Book, de Gand, Flemish Gand; a local name
