The history of the last name Batho

The surname Batho is believed to have originated in the English counties of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire during the medieval period. It is thought to be a locational name derived from the Old English word "bothan," meaning a small dwelling or hut. This suggests that the name may have originated from a place where such dwellings were located.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Nottinghamshire from 1176, where it appears as "Bathe." This document, which recorded financial transactions for the Crown, provides evidence of the name's existence during the reign of King Henry II.

In the 13th century, the name appears in various forms, such as "Bathoe" and "Bathou," in the Hundred Rolls of Derbyshire from 1273. These rolls were administrative records that documented landholdings and taxation in the county.

The Batho surname has also been associated with the village of Bathoe, located in the parish of Worksop in Nottinghamshire. This connection to a specific place name further solidifies the locational origin of the surname.
