Bateman Coat of Arms

The surname Bateman, of Irish descent, has a rich history that dates back centuries. The name itself derives from the Old English word bæt meaning bitter or biting and mann meaning man. It is believed that the Anglo-Saxon origins of the name were brought to Ireland during the Viking invasions in the 9th and 10th centuries.

In Ireland, the Bateman name became established primarily in the province of Leinster, particularly in counties Dublin, Wicklow, and Kildare. The early bearers of the surname were likely Anglo-Norman settlers who arrived in Ireland during the medieval period. These settlers would have been part of the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century led by Strongbow.

Over time, the Bateman surname spread across Ireland, and by the 19th century, Batemans could be found in various parts of the country. Many Batemans were involved in agricultural pursuits, while others pursued careers as merchants, traders, or craftsmen.

During the era of mass migration in the 19th and early 20th centuries, many Batemans emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Today, the surname Bateman can be found in these countries, as well as in the United Kingdom and other parts of the English-speaking world.

The Bateman surname continues to be a reminder of the historical influences and migrations that have shaped the Irish population over the centuries.
