Meaning & origin(measured from records)
Main GB Location (1881): Lancs and NW Midlands:. locative name perhaps from an unrecorded Middle English antecedent of Modern English dialect bate ‘river island or land liable to flooding’. Wawne (in the 1297 example below) is in marshy land by the River Hull. Further information: Reaney doubtfully suggests that the locative name denoted someone who lived by a ‘fat pasture’. This would be an unrecorded sense of Old Scandinavian bati ‘profit, gain’.

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
