Best Answer

The proud and noble English surname of Baldwin emerges from Shropshire, where they were granted lands by King William after the Norman Conquest of 1066 A.D. However, the surname was washed upon Britain's glittering shores amidst a veritable tidal wave of immigraton from Normandy, carrying Germanic elements that translate to "bold protector".
