The French name Baudouin has never been changed; there are other variations as with Bowdoin, Baudoin, Baudin, Bowden, (some times) Bodin. It was however always the correct name Baudouin. The family who came to the British colonicl settlements in 1686 was Pierre C. Baudouin and it was this family who first used the name to Bowdoin. contact me if you have other questions at my e-mail address: sueannbee@aol.com
