The history of the last name Badore

The surname Badore has its origins in France and can be traced back to the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French word "bador," which meant "to gape" or "to stare." This suggests that the name may have been initially given as a nickname to someone with an unusual or striking facial expression or appearance.

During the Middle Ages, the name was primarily found in the northern regions of France, particularly in Normandy and Picardy. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Père de Chartres, a medieval manuscript from the 13th century, where a certain "Guido Badore" is mentioned.

In the 14th century, the name Badore began to appear in various historical documents across France, including tax rolls and census records. For instance, in the Livre de la Taille de Paris, a tax register from 1292, there is an entry for a "Jehan Badore" residing in the parish of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois.

Another prominent figure was Pierre Badore, a French explorer and cartographer born in 1620. He accompanied several expeditions to the New World and was instrumental in mapping vast regions of what is now Canada and the United States. His detailed maps and journals provided valuable insights into the geography and indigenous cultures of North America.

In the 18th century, Jacques Badore, a French playwright and poet, gained recognition for his satirical works and biting social commentary. His plays were widely performed in Parisian theaters and earned him both acclaim and criticism from his contemporaries.
