Buford

Buford is an Old English baby boy name. The meaning of Buford is 'beautiful fort' and 'ford near the aviary'; it was given as a surname to people from Buford in Yorkshire, England. It is a variant of Beaufort and may be an Anglicized spelling of French Buffard, which is from Old French Bouffard. Hugo de Bureford and Roger de Bureford were two of the earliest bearers of the surname Buford recorded in Shropshire in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. When King Edward III was in his first year of rule, William le Burford and Walter le Boreforde were both noted as having properties in Somerset in Kirby's Quest. Buford Pusser, a well-known bearer of the name, was a police officer whose work against moonshining, and other vices received attention as the inspiration for the movie 'Walking Tall'. Another is the former professional baseball player scout and coach, Don Buford, who was inducted into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame.
