Bradford is a locational English name, derived from Old English "brad", meaning broad, and "ford", meaning ford. Bradford family history begins in Yorkshire, where they have held a family seat (feudal home) since ancient times. Other Bradford locations are found in Derbyshire, Devonshire, Dorset, Northumberland, Somerset, and Willshire.
