The talbot Surname
talbot Name Meaning and History
English (of Norman origin): of much disputed origin, but probably
from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements tal
‘destroy’ + bod ‘message’, ‘tidings’, i.e. ‘messenger of
destruction’. In this form the name is also found in France, taken
there apparently by English immigrants; the usual French form is
Talbert.
