Where did the English Batchelor family come from? What is the English Batchelor family crest and coat of arms? When did the Batchelor family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Batchelor family history?
The origins of the Batchelor surname date back to the time of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It comes from an early member of the family who was a knight, who in the exercise of chivalry has won his spurs, but hopes to be elected into some order. However, the nickname batchelor has remained somewhat of a puzzle to etymologists because it implied a sense of partial achievement of a desired goal rather than having a concrete origin. For example, a Bachelor of Arts is a person who has achieved a certain scholastic honor, but who also aspired to a higher degree of master or doctorate. A bachelor in common life was a person who had attained the age of manhood, but had not fulfilled the social relation of entering into matrimony.
