This surname is first found as "Bodin"in Normandy. However, in recognition of their very distinguished services to one Duke William of Normandy in a little skirmish known as The Battle of Hastings (1066), they were granted lands and held family seat in Cheshire. Some branched out to hold lands in the Middle Ages in the area that became Roxburghshire, Scotland.

The proud and noble masculine given name Bowden has become distinguished throughout history, carrying the meaning of "the son of Owen" (Celtic) and (Irish)"yellow-haired, blond".
