About Badminton

A badminton-like game was known in ancient Greece and Egypt – a game called battledore and shuttlecock – in which two players hit a feathered shuttlecock back and forth with tiny rackets.

Invented in India in a version called poona. In 1873 the duke of Beaufort introduced the sport at his country estate, Badminton, from which the game derives its name.

The word“Badminton” has been associated with the sport since 1874. The game was named for the Badminton House, which was an estate in Gloucestershire, England. “Badminton” comes from the Old English word “Badimyncgtun,” which means “estate of a man called Badu helm.”
