Barefoot Name Meaning
English: nickname for someone who was in the habit of going
about his business unshod, from Old English bær ‘bare’,
‘naked’ + fot ‘foot’. It may have referred to a peasant
unable to afford even the simplest type of footwear, or to someone who
went barefoot as a religious penance.In some instances,
probably a translation of German Barfuss, the northern form
Barfoth, or the Danish cognate Barfo(e)d.
