Bartelmes is German in Origin.

Bartelmes is a Germanic derivative of Bartholomäus, ultimately from the Aramaic patronym bar-Talmai, “son of Talmai.” Through Greek Bartholomaios and Latin Bartholomaeus, the name spread with Christian tradition; in German dialects Bartholomäus contracted to Barthel, Bartel, and Bartl, yielding patronymic or diminutive forms such as Bartelmes. The underlying sense is often glossed as “son of the furrowed one,” since Talmai is linked to the Hebrew for furrows.

Attested in late medieval and early modern records across central and eastern German-speaking regions - especially Thuringia, Franconia, Saxony, and Silesia - Bartelmes appears as a rare given name that later stabilized as a hereditary surname. Variant spellings include Barthelmes, Barthelmess, and Bartelmeß; related first-name forms are Bartel, Bartl, and Barthel. International cognates include English Bartholomew, Spanish Bartolomé, Italian Bartolomeo, Portuguese Bartolomeu, Dutch Bartel, and Scandinavian Bertel. Name day is commonly observed on 24 August for St. Bartholomew.
