The meaning of Boeding
1. German (Böding): probably a habitational name from a farm named Böding, which once belonged to a certain Bodo and his kin (see Bodo).

This surname has apparently died out in Germany. 2. Dutch (mainly Zeeland): either a surname of German origin (see 1 above), or an altered form of Walloon and French Baudoin.
