English: occupational name for a peasant farmer, from Middle
English husband ‘tiller of the soil’, ‘husbandman’. The term
(late Old English husbonda, Old Norse
húsbóndi), a compound of hús ‘house’ +
bóndi (see Bond) originally described a man who was
head of his own household, and this may have been the sense in some of
the earliest examples of the surname.
