William Bacheler, burgess of Haddington, rendered homage in 1296 (Bain, II, p. 197), and John de Luss is mentioned in 1316 as bacularius of Robert I. David Bachetar was serjeant of Forfar in 1472 (Laing), Adam Bachiler was "meseinger til our Souerane Lord" in 1476 (SCM., V, p. 25), William Batchler in Rakmure of the Mains of Stradichty, 1598, and four more of the name are recorded in the Commissariot Record of St. Andrews, James Bachlar in Easthills of Carmyllie, 1637 (Brechin), and Andrew Batchlar at Craigend of Moncrieff, 1652 (Dunblane).

(English) The holder, or tenant, of a small farm; an officer or servant who has care of the door in a large household; the young person, or young knight.
The word bachelor has long been a sore puzzle to etymologists. Whatever its origin, it seems to imply something inchoate-the partial achievement of a desired object; thus a bachelor of arts, laws, &c., is one who having attained a certain scholastic honour, aspires after the higher degree of master or doctor; so a knight-bachelor is one who in the exercise of chivalry has won his spurs, but hopes to be elected into some order; while the bachelor of common life is one, who having attained the age of manhood, has not yet taken a position necessary to the proper fulfilment of the social relation-that of marriage. The surname may have been applied originally to persons in this imperfect condition, either in the scholastic, the chivalric, or the social sense.
