(1) Probably from the office of bacularius (LL.), corresponding to usher, or (2) from LL. baccalarius holder or tenant of a small farm. 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). In 1665 the name appears disguised as Besler and Beseler (Jervise, I, p. 202), and Baisler is the popular pronunciation of the name in Perthshire and Angus. Margaret Baisler was married in Edinburgh in 1668 (Edinb. Marr.: the only one of the name here listed), and John Basslour appears in Heughead of Guthrie, 1686 (Brechin). Batcheller 1693.
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.
