Family Name History 

 

BATSON 

      The English surname Batson is of patronymic origin, being of that category of surnames derived from the first name of the parent of the original bearer. In this instance, the name simply denotes one who is the “son of Bate”, a pet form of the personal name Bartholomew, which is derived from the Hebrew, meaning “son of Talmai (abounding in furrows)” and associated chiefly with the disciple Saint Bartholomew, who was martyred by being flayed alive with a knife. This name undoubtedly became popular following the advent of Christianity, when parents were encouraged to name their children for saints and Biblical figures.

This name may be found in written records as early as the fourteenth century. In 1327, one John Batessone is noted in the “Subsidy Rolls” for Derbyshire and in 1467, a John Battson is mentioned in the “Register of the Guild of the Corpus Christi in the city of York”.

A notable bearer of this name was the Honourable Sir Alexander Dingwall Bateson, who held the post of junior counsel to the Admiralty for Admiralty Division Work and later became a justice of the High Court of Justice in 1925.

BLAZON OF ARMS: Argent, three bats’ wings sable, on a chief gules, a lion passant or.

Translation: The lion, as king of beasts, is associated with Majesty and Kingship. It is also emblematic of Strength, Courage and Generosity. The chief denotes Dominion and Authority and was granted in arms as a reward for service on the field of battle.

CREST: A bat’s wing sable.

MOTTO: Nocte Volamus.

Translation: “We Fly By Night.”

ORIGIN: ENGLAND

Family Connections made by Greg 

I received an e-mail from someone looking to see if we were possibly related. Her name is Julia Giannos (Maiden name Batson) and after several information exchanges, we determined that we are third cousins. This was an exciting find for us both, and as I get time, I will upload some more pictures in to my photo album!

To understand how Julia and myself are related, here’s what we discovered:

My Great-Grandfather Joseph Turner Batson and Julia’s Great-Grandfather Edward Earl Batson were brothers!

My Grandfather Turner Elliott Batson and Julia’s Grandfather Homer Newton Batson Sr. were first cousins

My Father, Stephen Turner Batson, Sr. and Julia’s Father, Homer Newton Batson Jr. are second cousins!

Finally, this makes Greg Batson and Siblings third cousins to Julia
