What is the meaning of the name Baudoin ?

The baby name Baudoin is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced French: /bo.dwɛ̃/ (bo‑dwahn),English: /ˈbɔːdwɪn/ (BAWD-win).

Baudoin is Germanic in Origin.

Baudoin is a French masculine given name, pronounced bo-DWAN, representing a historical spelling of Baudouin, the French cognate of English Baldwin. It stems from the Old High German elements bald “bold, brave” and win “friend, companion,” yielding the sense “bold friend” or “brave companion.” The two French spellings, Baudoin and Baudouin, are typically pronounced the same.

Attested in medieval charters and chronicles, the name rose to prominence in the Crusader era through figures such as Baudouin (Baldwin) of Boulogne, first King of Jerusalem. In modern times it is associated with King Baudouin I of the Belgians; the Baudoin spelling is rarer as a given name and often seen as a French or Acadian/Cajun surname. International variants include Baldwin (English), Balduin (German), Boudewijn (Dutch), Baldovino (Italian), Balduino/Balduíno (Spanish/Portuguese), and Baudouin (standard French). Feminine counterparts include Balduina and Baldwina.
