Battie is English, Scottish in Origin.
Battie is an English diminutive-turned-surname derived from Bat/Batte, a medieval pet form of Bartholomew. Bartholomew comes via Latin and Greek from Aramaic bar-Talmai, meaning “son of Talmai,” with Talmai often interpreted as “furrowed” or “abounding in furrows.” Thus Battie carries the apostolic heritage of Bartholomew while retaining the brisk, colloquial feel of Middle English nicknaming.
In medieval tax rolls the byname Batte and its extensions helped generate northern English surnames such as Battie, Batty, Baty, Batt, Bate, and Bates. As a given name Battie appears sporadically in 17th–19th‑century parish records - sometimes as a masculine nickname, sometimes transferred from a family surname, and occasionally unisex in modern use. Related variants and cognates include Bat, Bate, Batt, Batty/Baty/Battie, Bartie/Barty, and the formal Bartholomew; the meaning remains “son of Talmai.”
Battie is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 12 times, across 6 countries.
