Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of various places so called, including Stanford (Bedfordshire, Kent), Stanford Dingley and Stanford in the Vale (Berkshire), Stanford le Hope and Stanford Rivers (Essex), Stanford Bishop and Stanford Regis (Herefordshire), Stanford on Avon (Northamptonshire), Stanford on Soar (Nottinghamshire), and Stanford on Teme (Worcestershire); also from Stamford (Lincolnshire, Northumberland), Stamford Bridge (East Yorkshire), and Standford in Headley (Hampshire), all of which appear as Stanford in medieval documents. The placenames all derive from Old English stān ‘stone, rock’ + ford ‘ford’. This surname has been established in Ireland since the 16th century, where it is also found under the variant Stankard.
History: An early bearer of this surname in North America, Thomas Stanford of England, settled in Charlestown, MA, in the mid 17th century and started a family line that includes Leland Stanford (1824–93), the railroad developer who was governor of CA, a US senator, and the founding benefactor of Stanford University.
