It is named after the estate of the Duke of Beaufort in Gloucestershire, Badminton House, where a form of the game was played.
"the Duke of Beaufort was entertaining soldiers at his estate called ‘Badminton House’, where the soldiers played Poona. The Duke of Beaufort’s non-military guests began referring to the game as ‘the badminton game’, and thus the game became known as "badminton".

It was originally called Battledores and Shuttlecocks.
It was very popular in the 1860s in India, where the soldiers played it at Duke of Beauford's house, which was called Badminton Manor.
Rather than call it Poona (played in the city of Poona, India), they settled on Badminton.
