Name Meaning
perhaps from Middle English for(e)ward, forthward ‘agreement, contract, pledge’. It might have been given to someone who negotiated agreements or who acted as a pledge for another person.
perhaps sometimes a metathesized form of Middle English froward, fraward ‘contrary, unruly, willful, perverse’. Alternatively, this may be a nickname from Middle English for(e)ward ‘forward, advanced’. It is not until the 16th century that the word is recorded meaning ‘ready, eager, precocious, presumptuous’, but perhaps it already had some of these senses in Middle English.
