From the broad ford
A rare English surname-turned-given name, Labradford is a compound name likely derived from the Old English 'brad' meaning broad and 'ford' meaning a river crossing. The prefix 'La-' is a modern stylistic addition common in American naming traditions, or it may function as a rhythmic variant of the surname Bradford. It signifies a geographical origin near a wide shallow part of a river.
