The surname Banwarth was first found in Switzerland, where the name came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society. It later became more prominent as many branches of the same house acquired distant estates and branches, some in foreign countries, always elevating their social status by their great contributions to society. The name derives itself from the mediaeval German designation for a watchman or porter, who was stationed before an entrance to a house or public building.
