BALL NAME ORIGINS

Note: Note: Lord of the Manor of Barkham, Berkshire, England.
The surname"Ball" is probably a shortened form of "Baldwin"
dating from Norman times meaning "one who is bold enough
to win in battle". For many generations the Baldwins were
Counts of Flanders. The hortened variations of the spelling
included "Baell", "Ball",and Balle". John Balle, born 1263 in
Norfolk County, England, is one of the earliest recorded but
with very little information. The "Mad Preacher of Kent",
John Ball, is the most recorded following John Balle.
Having great disdain for royalty while preaching "equality
among men" and believing no man had the right to set himself
as master of others, he was beheaded by Richard II, King of
England in 1381.
