Banbrigge is in Origin.

Banbrigge is an English surname-turned-given name, rooted in the toponym Bainbridge in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. The place name denotes “the bridge over the River Bain,” combining Bain (the river name, of debated origin - often linked to Norse or older Celtic descriptive roots) with Middle English brigge, from Old English brycg “bridge.” Early spellings in medieval and Tudor records vary, and Banbrigge reflects that Middle English orthography with its doubled g-e ending.

As a given name, Banbrigge is rare but fits the modern taste for distinctive surname names. Historical bearers more commonly used the forms Bainbrigge or Bainbridge; the latter became standard and is familiar via figures such as U.S. naval officer William Bainbridge and the place name Bainbridge Island. Close variants include Bainbridge (standard), Bainbrigge, Banbrigg(e), Bambridge, and Banbridge, the last tied to a town in County Down, Ireland.
