Batt is Mongolian in Origin.
Batt is a compact medieval English hypocoristic of Bartholomew, formed alongside Bat, Bate and Batte. Bartholomew ultimately comes from Aramaic bar-Talmai, 'son of Talmai,' with Talmai interpreted as 'furrowed' or 'ploughman,' so Batt inherits an agricultural, earth‑bound sense. Records from the 13th–15th centuries show Bat/Batte used as a standalone given name; over time it stabilized chiefly as a hereditary surname, giving rise to Bates and Batson, while Batt itself remained as both surname and occasional forename in Britain and Ireland (where Bat/Batt served as a familiar name for Bartholomew).
Today Batt is rare as a first name, read as brisk and vintage in the English‑speaking world and sometimes chosen via the surname‑to‑given‑name trend. Related forms include Bat, Bate, Baty, Battie/Batty, and the broader international cognates Bart, Bartel, Bartle, and Bartholomew.
Batt is far from common. We count 144 recorded uses of it across 30 countries.
