Origin Displayed: French

Where did the French Bataille family come from? What is the French coat of arms/family crest? When did the Bataille family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

From the historical and enchanting region of France emerged a multitude of notable family names, including that of the distinguished Bataille family. Originally, the people in this region went by one (personal) name. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. These names then began to become "fixed" or hereditary between the generations. One of the types of names adopted as surnames were those derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name, and generally reflected some physical characteristics or other attribute of the first person that used the name. The Bataille surname derives from the Old French word "bataille" from Latin "battualia" both meaning "battle," and as such was likely originally a nickname for a combative or violent person.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Bataille, Batailles, Bataile, Batailes, Battaille, Battailles, Battaile, Battailes, Batayles, Bataylles, Batayle, Bataylle, Battayles, Battaylles, Battayle, Battaylle, de Bataille and many more.
