    Name Meaning

    English (Norfolk and Suffolk): possibly an altered form of Bendelowes with metathesis of -s- and substitution of -ley for -low). Bendelowes is a variant of Bindloss, a nickname perhaps for a wolf hunter, from Middle English binden ‘bind’ + Middle English (Old French) loues ‘wolves’.
