Last Name BARNET

Summary/Contribute


Meaning The son of Bernard, or Barnard. The Cistercian monk gave a wonderful impetus in the 13th century to this name, already popular. A large number of Bernards sprang up in Furness after the Abbey came under the Bernardine rule; Bernard Gilpin's name is a case in point. The popular form was Barnet. Barnes and Barnet seem to suggest a nickname Barn and a diminutive Barnett. It is quite possible that such is the case, but in general Barnes must be looked on as local, and Barnet is simply a provincial pronunciation of Barnard.
