English : probably a habitational name from a place in Devon named Bowditch, from the Old English phrase būfan dīce ‘above the ditch’.The surname Bowditch is well known in New England. Nathaniel Bowditch (1773–1838), author of The Practical Navigator (1772), a standard work that went through more than sixty editions, was born in Salem, MA, the son of a shipmaster. The family can be traced back, via a clothier who settled in New England in 1671, to Thorncombe in Devon in the early 16th century.
