The history of the last name Badie

The surname BADIE has its origins in England and dates back to at least the 13th century. It is believed to be derived from the Old English word "bæddel" or "bæddi", which referred to a person who was a messenger or herald. This occupation formed the basis for many surnames in the Middle Ages.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273, where it appears as "Badie". This document was a census-like survey conducted in England during the reign of King Edward I. The name is also found in various medieval records and manuscripts from the 13th to 15th centuries, often spelled as "Bady", "Badye", or "Baddie".

The BADIE surname is closely associated with the county of Hampshire in southern England, particularly in the areas around Winchester and Southampton. It is thought that the name may have originated from a place name or village that no longer exists or has been absorbed into a larger town or city over time.

One notable figure from history bearing the BADIE surname was Sir John Badie (1533-1611), an English politician and Member of Parliament for Winchester during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Another early recorded bearer of the name was William Badie (c. 1510-1580), a merchant and alderman in the city of Southampton.

In the 17th century, the BADIE surname appears to have spread to other parts of England, with records showing individuals with this name residing in counties like Essex, Kent, and Lincolnshire. One individual of note from this period was Thomas Badie (1622-1692), a prominent merchant and landowner in the town of Maldon, Essex.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the BADIE surname continued to be found in various parts of England, with several individuals achieving notable positions or recognition. One example is John Badie (1765-1839), a respected clergyman and author who served as the Archdeacon of Salisbury in Wiltshire.

Another noteworthy figure was Charles Badie (1812-1884), a British military officer and veteran of the Crimean War who was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military honor in the United Kingdom, for his bravery and valor during the Battle of Inkerman in 1854.
