The history of the last name Bynog

The surname BYNOG is believed to have originated in England during the late medieval period. It is thought to have derived from the Old English byname "bynoge," which referred to a person who worked as a basket maker or weaver. This occupational surname was likely given to someone whose trade involved weaving or crafting baskets from woven materials.

The earliest known record of the BYNOG surname dates back to the 13th century, appearing in the Pipe Rolls of Gloucestershire from 1275. This early mention suggests the name may have originated in the southwestern region of England before spreading to other areas.

In the 14th century, variations of the BYNOG spelling began to emerge, including Bynoge, Binoge, and Bynogg. These alternative spellings were likely due to the inconsistencies in record keeping and regional dialects at the time.

One notable historical figure bearing the BYNOG surname was William Bynog, a merchant and landowner who lived in Somerset during the late 15th century. Records indicate he was involved in the wool trade and owned several estates in the region.

Another individual of note was John Bynog, born in 1524 in Oxfordshire. He was a renowned scholar and theologian, serving as a fellow at Christ Church, Oxford, and later becoming the Dean of Winchester Cathedral in 1565.

In the 17th century, the BYNOG surname made its way across the Atlantic to the American colonies. One of the earliest recorded instances was that of Thomas Bynog, who arrived in Virginia from England in 1635 and later settled in Maryland.

During the 18th century, the name appeared in various parish records and manorial rolls throughout England. One such example was Elizabeth Bynog, born in 1712 in Gloucestershire, who married into the prominent Woodward family of Warwickshire.

Another notable figure was Robert Bynog, a successful merchant and shipowner from Bristol, born in 1745. He was involved in the transatlantic trade and amassed a considerable fortune during his lifetime.

While the BYNOG surname has remained relatively uncommon throughout history, it has persisted across various regions and generations, reflecting its origins as an occupational name tied to the craft of basket weaving and weaving in medieval England.
