![Show Contents]() Bottin History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Bottin is a name of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from the family once having lived in the village of Bodden, Staffordshire, where traces of the family dating from before the Norman Conquest have been found. Early Origins of the Bottin familyThe surname Bottin was first found in Somerset where Richard de Boddene and John de Boddene were both recorded 1 Edward III, (during the first year of the reign of Edward III.) 1 "At a very early period, a family of Bodin, Beaudin, and Beadyn, or Beadon, for the name is thus variously written, enjoyed considerable property in Devon; but whether or not it derived from the Norman, whose name appears on the Roll, we have no means of ascertaining. From the Devonshire Beaudins, the Beadons, now of Gotton House, co. Somerset, claim descent." 2 Early History of the Bottin familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bottin research.

Bottin Spelling VariationsSound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Bottin family name include Boden, Boyden, Bodin, Bodinus, Boydinus, Boidin and many more.

 Bottin migration to New Zealand | + |
Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include: Bottin Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century- Thomas Bottin, aged 9, who arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship "Avalanche" in 1875
- Emma Bottin, aged 7, who arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship "Avalanche" in 1875
- Peter Bottin, aged 5, who arrived in Wellington, New Zealand aboard the ship "Avalanche" in 1875
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Contra audentior
Motto Translation: Bodly against the enemy
