General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Barnard

---

This is one of the most ancient of surnames, being first taken from Roche-Bernard, an ancient fortified manor-house of Normandy; it had been in use, however, as a baptismal name since the eighth century, and originally derived from northern mythology, signifying boldness; literally, bear's heart, from Bern, the bear, and the courage it implies. The French pronounce it Baer-nar, and the English broadly on the first syllable, as Bar nrd, just as they call Derby Darby, and Bertram Bart rm.
