The name Buildar is rooted in the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It was originally a name for someone who worked as a person who worked as a builder or a stone mason. The surname is a derivative of the Old English verb byldan, and the Old English word bilden, which both mean to build. 1 2

The surname Buildar was first found in the Assize Rolls of Northumberland, where Albric Buldur was listed in 1203. Later, Bate Bolder was found in Yorkshire in 1286 and much later, Richard Buldur was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379. 2

Another source notes that the following were also in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls: Rogerus Bulder; Alicia Bulder; and Johannes Bulder. The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 include a listing for Robert Bulder. 1

Migration of the Buildar family

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Buildar or a variant listed above: a number of settlers who arrived by the 19th century.
