"Ford Near the Castle."

Actually, that is incorrect, and the site where you found that is as well. It is originally of french origin, and means something along the lines of beautiful castle or beautiful fortress. Exact interpretation is difficult due to several cultural influences that have affected/ modified it's spelling, pronunciation, etc. The original spelling was Beaufort, and while i don't remember if in England, Ireland or France.... there are still the remains of the castle that this name spurs from.
