Garboden is an alteration of German Gerbode from gari 'spear' and bodo 'lord'. Szynal means 'iron nail used for wagon wheels' in Polish, probably the nickname of a wheelwright.

Perhaps the surname Garboden is an alteration of the Armenian surname Garbedian, also spelt Garabedian, whose origin you'll find here - http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=Garabedian
Garabedian/Garbedian are very common here in the U.S, particularly California, where Oregon is a neighboring state. Oregon is where most of the Garbodens are found. I think the German origin is unlikely. One main reason is because the form Gerboden is not found. I haven't look much into the history of the Garboden surname. Maybe a German origin could be possible, but I think it is most likely of Armenian origin.

You'll find the genealogical data that backs up the German origin of Garboden at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=stevespeeps&id=I7312. Can you provide any similar evidence for your alleged Armenian origin?

You're welcome. I have looked at the records and I now believe the surname Garboden is of German origin, as Mark have said, and I thought possible. Perhaps the English surname Garbutt is also of the same origin, also deriving from the German personal name Geribodo. Perhaps the Armenian origin is unlikely. I thank Marc for the evidence.
It is always great to have researchers and experts correct each other, as the origin of the surname gets closer and closer to the truth!
