ORIGINS
The surname Banes is thought to be
of Scottish origin, derived from personal or physical characteristics. The name
can be traced to the Gaelic work "ban" which translates to
"white."
Banes is recorded in Scottish
documents as early as the 14th century; the suffix “s” may denote patronymy.
The earliest record of the surname
Banes in the United States is of Martha Banes, age twenty, who in July 1635,
sailed from Liverpool to New England.
The
1790 United States Census lists only 310 family members with this surname for
the entire country. Heads of families were 72 in number and distributed per
state as follows: Massachusetts (2); New York (9); Pennsylvania (17); Maryland
(14); Virginia (16); North Carolina (11); and South Carolina (3). Spelling variations
of the name were Bain, Baen, Baens, Bagn, Baign, Baine, Baines, Bane, Banes,
Bayan, Bayhan, Bayne and Baynes. The average size of each family was reported
as 5.3 members.
