The word "badger", originally applied to the European badger ("Meles meles"), comes from earlier "bageard" (16th century), presumably referring to the white mark borne like a badge on its forehead. Similarly, a now archaic synonym was "bauson" 'badger' (1375), a variant of "bausond" 'striped, piebald', from Old French "bausant", "baucent" 'id.'.
