Barnard is a surname.

People

Some of the Barnard family in England may have been Huguenots[1] who fled from the Atlantic coast region of France circa 1685 (the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantes) or earlier than that date, however the evidence for this is tenuous, as the name does not appear in lists of proven Huguenot names.[2] By contrast, the Barnard family in Holland (the western provinces of the Netherlands) can be definitively traced back to circa 1751 (Izaak Barnard)[3] of Scheveningen. The countries from which they entered Holland prior to that date are uncertain.[3] The branch of the Barnard family in England is well documented,[4][5] and is thought to have arrived in England and Ireland, after the time of the Norman Conquest (1066), some of whom can be traced back to Hugo Bernard, or in later waves of immigration from continental Europe, some of whom are descended from Daniel Barnard of Canterbury with notable descendants around London,[6][7] Chatham, Dartford, Kingston upon Hull,[8] Stockton-on-Tees,[9] Bournemouth,[10] Ipswich, Norwich and in Australia.

Surname

The surname is most commonly found in Greater London and the South Eastern counties of England, and in California, Texas, Florida and New York in the United States of America.[11] It is also found in Canada, the Netherlands, South Africa, Australia, and occasionally in Germany.[11] It is an English or Dutch version of Bernard, from the Germanic name Bernhard or Bernhardt, composed of the elements ber(n) ‘bear’ + hard ‘brave’, ‘hardy’, ‘strong’.[12]. The first syllable of the name derives from bear; Bär or Baer in German. corresponding family names are BAER, BER, BERR, BEHR, BERNHARDT, BERNARD (in France),[13] Anglicised and also found in Holland as BARNARD.
