Meaning & origin
Beuford is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1914. Its peak year of usage was 1915, though even then it did not rank among the most popular names. The name has remained extremely uncommon, with a stable trajectory indicating it never experienced widespread revival. While its exact etymology is uncertain, it is closely tied to the English surnames Buford and Beauford. Given its scarcity and historical roots, Beuford appeals to those seeking a distinctly uncommon name with a vintage, surname-derived feel.
Beuford is a rare given name of uncertain origin, likely a variant of the surname Buford or Beauford. The surname Buford is of English origin, derived from a place name meaning 'ford by the buffalo' or possibly 'ford at the hill'. Beauford, as an English surname, combines the French 'beau' (fair) with 'ford'. Beuford saw very limited use as a first name in the early 20th century, particularly in the United States, but has since faded from common usage.
