The earliest known record of the ABBATOY surname can be traced back to the 13th century in the Normandy region of France. Historical documents from this time mention individuals with variations of the name, such as ABBATOIT and ABBATOI, indicating potential spelling variations over time.

In the late 14th century, records show a family by the name of ABBATOY residing in the village of Abbeville, located in the Somme department of northern France. This area was known for its thriving textile industry, and it is possible that members of the ABBATOY family were involved in this trade.

One notable figure bearing the ABBATOY surname was Jean ABBATOY, a French scholar and theologian who lived in the 15th century. Born in 1428 in Rouen, he authored several works on religious subjects and served as a professor at the University of Paris before his death in 1497.

During the 16th century, the ABBATOY name began to appear in records across various regions of France, suggesting the family's migration and dispersal. In the late 1500s, a wealthy merchant named Pierre ABBATOY is documented as having traded goods between Paris and the port cities of Marseille and Bordeaux.

In the 17th century, a military officer named Jacques ABBATOY served in the French army during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). He is mentioned in several accounts for his bravery and leadership on the battlefield, although the exact details of his service are not well-documented.
