Freeborn Family History
Freeborn Name Meaning
English and Scottish: from the Middle English personal name Frebern (Old English Frēobeorn). Or possibly also from Middle English fre-boren freborn ‘free-born’ (Old English frēo + boren) for ‘one born free inheriting liberty descended from freemen’ though the bulk of the evidence strongly suggests that the personal name is the usual source of the surname. Compare Freedman .
