Meaning & History
Perhaps a short form of BARDOLPH or other Germanic names containing the element #bard# meaning "small axe" (in some cases "beard"). It was borne by a saint, an 11th-century archbishop of Mainz whom Pope Saint Leo IX advised to "lighten his duties and relax some of his personal austerities and mortifications".
