What is the meaning of the name Bond ?

The baby name Bond is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /bɒnd/ (UK), /bɑnd/ (US).

Bond is English, Norse in Origin.

Bond is an English given name taken from a medieval surname of Scandinavian origin. It stems from Old Norse bondi (also buandi), meaning farmer, householder, or dweller - originally a freeholding farmer among Norse settlers. In Middle English records the form Bonde/Bond could also denote a bondman or tenant, reflecting later feudal nuance, but the core sense is one who inhabits and farms.

The name appears in 11th to 13th century England as Bondi/Bonde and then as a hereditary surname, especially in Danelaw counties. As a modern given name it is rare but rising, boosted by the cultural cachet of Ian Fleming's agent James Bond, which lends a sleek, confident aura. Variants and related forms include Bonde (English and Scandinavian), Bonds, and Bondy; the Swedish and Danish cognate Bonde shares the same meaning. Contemporary usage often leans on the appealing idea of a bond: connection, loyalty, and steadfastness.
