[Facts] Re: Meaning of the name Gurdon
in reply to a message by Jordan
Hi
The name Gurdon originally comes from Gourdon in France. Half the family moved to England in 1066 and mainly lived in Assington in Suffolk since 1400. The other half stayed in France in Gourdon. Bertrand de Gourdon killed Richard the Lionheart in 1199 at the siege of Chaluz
Best wishes - Charles Gurdon
