- Origins Available:
 England The ancient history of the Bayman name begins with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the family resided near a mountain. This name was brought to England by the Normans, and is a corruption of the Norman French name Beaumont, which means beautiful mountain.1 "In former times, when mead or methlegn was a favourite beverage, the number of bees kept in England must have been much larger than now. Bee-parlts, or enclosures, exist in several parts of the country, though now appropriated to other uses. The keeper of such a park was called Custos Apium-"keeper of the bees"-whence Beeman. " 2 Early Origins of the Bayman familyThe surname Bayman was first found in Suffolk, where R. Benum was recorded in the Subsidy Rolls in 1283. Later William le Bemon was found in Lancashire in 1324. 3 Early History of the Bayman familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bayman research.

Bayman 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 Bayman include Beman, Beeman, Bemon, Beemon, Bayman, Baymon and many more.

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.

By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life.
