Etymology of BarningWhat does the name Barning mean? The roots of the distinguished German surname Barning lie in the province of Westphalia. The name is of two different possible origins; firstly, it is derived from "Berninghausen," the name of a town in Westphalia. Alternatively, it may indicate "son of Berning," a diminutive of "Bern," which is itself derived from the Old High German "bero," meaning "bear." Early Origins of the Barning familyThe surname Barning was first found in Westphalia, where the name is thought to have first emerged. It was a common practice of the time to refer to a new resident of a city by the name of his hometown; thus, it is likely that the progenitor of the name was a native of the town of Berninghausen who had settled somewhere else. The young Barning family was instrumental in the development of medieval Westphalian society, and played a significant role in the history of the region.
