Brundage
An English surname probably from a place-name or a descriptive byname built on an old word for a bridge or boundary.
The #7,320 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 67,737 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Brundage is generally treated as an English surname, probably arising from a place-name or a local descriptive term rather than from an occupation. It may ultimately contain an old English element related to a bridge or a boundary, with the final -age reflecting later surname formation and spelling change. Because the name is uncommon and early records are sparse, the exact original form is uncertain.
History
The surname is found in English-speaking records and later became established in North America through migration. Its spelling has varied over time, and forms like Brundish or Brundidge may reflect the same or closely related name in different records. Today Brundage is best known as a relatively rare American surname.

Fun fact
Brundage is uncommon enough that small spelling shifts in old parish or census records can make the same family hard to track across generations.
