What is the meaning of the name Bartlet ?

The baby name Bartlet is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ˈbɑːrt.lət (BART-lət).

Bartlet is English in Origin.

Bartlet is an English surname-turned-given name, a Middle English diminutive of Bartholomew formed from Bart plus the French diminutive suffix -let/-et. Bartholomew ultimately comes from Aramaic bar-Tolmay, “son of Talmai,” often interpreted as “son of the furrows” or “ploughman.” Thus Bartlet carries the sense of “little Bart” and, by extension, “son of Talmai.”

Recorded in late medieval and early modern English records as both a byname and hereditary surname, Bartlet is rarer as a given name but fits the modern surname-first trend in the English-speaking world. The double‑t Bartlett is the more prevalent spelling; other related forms include Bartel, Bartell, Bartle, and the diminutives Bart and Barty. Broader cognates from the Bartholomew family include Bartholomew, Bart, Bartosz (Polish), Bartolo (Italian/Spanish), and Barthélemy (French).
