Barnes Surname Origin:
|
Family
Chronicle reflects a British origin of the Barnes surname meaning "Of the barn
(originally 'barley house')." |
|
The Scottish Surnames book by David Dorward
states this surname is more common in England and sometimes comes from
Barnes in Surrey, England, although unspecified barn in any part of the
kingdom could give rise to this surname. There was also a parish
of the name Barnes in Aberdeenshire, Scotland (possibly from Gaelic
Bearn). |
|
The
House of Names site reflects the following spelling variations: Barnes,
Barns, Barnis, Bernys, Bernes, Berner, and others. |
