The generations and branches of the Bobord family share a name that has its roots in the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. The name Bobord comes from the baptismal name for the son of Robert. Alternatively, the name could have been derived from the name Popart, as in N. Popart, Normandy (1180-1195.) 1 Early Origins of the Bobord familyThe surname Bobord was first found in Suffolk, where they held a family seat from ancient times.

Bobord Spelling VariationsUntil quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Bobord include Bobart, Bobbet, Bobat, Bobbete, Bobet, Bobitt, Bobbett, Bobert, Bobett and many more.

Migration of the Bobord familySearching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Bobord or a variant listed above: Ann Bobett who arrived in Virginia in 1663.
