Anglo-Saxon bat, a boat. A boatman. A less likely derivation is from the Old English, bate, strife-one who contends, which is rather supported by the analogous surname Bater. It is probable that the Derbyshire family came from Norfolk (Lysons) and so they may have been descendants of the old Norse vikingr. Like many other names terminating in man, this appears to have been originally abaptismal appellation. A Bateman de Apletrewyk occurs in the H.R. in co. York.
