What is the meaning of the last name "Baal"?

Question

My family has the last name of Baal, and we are not sure what kind of name it is. Some lastnames like Richardson mean "son of Richard" so I just wanted to know. Another fact is that my great grandmother had my grandfather without a dad for whatever reason and just decided to give the last name "Baal". I'm not sure if its European, or Asian, or Middle-eastern.

Hello,

Hopefully, here is some information that you will enjoy:

Surname: Baal
Recorded in over eighty different spellings throughout Europe, this surname is of pre 7th century Olde French origins. It originates from the word "baud" meaning "joyful", was given probably as a nickname for a "lusty and swaggering youth". There is some confusion with the German and Anglo-Saxon "Baldo", a personal name which means "bold". It can be argued that the meanings are essentially the same, and it is likely that in most countries of Europe it is not possible to isolate the precise origins. This type of name which typifies power or strength was very popular in the time after the collapse of the Roman Empire in the 5th century a.d., and the coming of the great Frankisk empire under Charlemagne in the 9th century. Herditary surnames were first established in England in the 12th century, and thereafter throughout the western world they gradually gained acceptance over the next seven centuries. The earliest examples of all such names were recorded in England and amongst the first examples are those of Henry Le Bolde in the county of Sussex in 1327, William Boulde of Yorkshire in 1428, and in Germany Franz Baude of Drachenburg in 1636. The first known recording of the surname in any spelling anywhere in the world, is believed to be that of Simon le Baud, in the rolls of the county of Northampton, England in the year 1219. This was during the reign of King Henry 111 of England, 1216 - 1272.

Since people of Africa did not adopt surnames until well into the 20th century, and further since the word "king" is English, obviously the blacks by that surname adopted the name. There is much misconception on here re titles. For instance, Julius Caesar is not his full name; his name was Julius, and he became the first of the caesars. Caesar was his title, not his surname. But, in regards to Queen Nefertiti, "queen" was NOT her title: Number one, Egyptians did not have kings or queens; Number 2, they had no female rulers before and thus had no title. When modern archaeologists found out about Nefertiti, they were confused and bestowed the title of queen on her to fit their misconceptions of world order. In addition to people surnamed King, there are also those surnamed Queen(s), Bishop, etc. None of these type names mean that the person so-named was royalty or cleric; it means that they served in an official capacity for those persons. Historically, kings held few slaves; the wealth & power, then as now, resides in the merchantile class After Columbus' successful voyages when Spain sent their expeditions to the new world, it was not the king (or country) that financed those expeditions, but the wealthy...mostly merchants. So, the most logical reason why so many blacks have those surnames would be because they feel more important bearing such a name. A better query would be why did so many choose Washington as a surname in lieu of Lincoln?

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/eWjGE

Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).

1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.

2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.
