The name Pateman is rooted in the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It is a name for someone who worked as a boatman. The surname Pateman is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word bat, which means a boat. In some cases, the name is also derived from the Old English word bate, which means one who contends, but this word is most often found as the root of the name Bater.

It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Pateman are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Pateman include: Bateman, Batman, Bademan, Badman, Pateman, Padman, Pademan and many more.

First found in the county of Derbyshire in the midlands of England where it held a family seat for many centuries before the Norman Conquest of 1066 A.D. by Duke William of Normandy.

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Pateman or a variant listed above:
