The surname Hatan was first found in Aberdeenshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain), a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of northeastern Scotland, where they held a family seat and it is presumed that they gave their name to the town Itingston near Huntly in Aberdeenshire. 1
"Utting may have given name to Ittingston near Huntly, Aberdeenshire, in 1534 Uttinstoun. A charter of 1277 was witnessed by Alan, son of Huting, seneschal of Buchan. Hutting, "marescallus" of the bishop of Moray, witnessed a charter by the bishop confirming the gift of the church of Deveth to the church of the Holy Trinity of Spyny, c. 1202-1224. Utting Cachepol held a toft in the vill of Inverbervyn, now Bervie, c. 1232-1237. "Cachepol" refers to Utting's office, catchpoll," i.e. bailiff. Vtting the smith of Stirling was a charter witness, c. 1275. William, son of Utting, possessed a tenement in Drumelzier, c. 1300-1320, and Robert Vtting appears as witness in a court held at the standing stones of Rayne in the Garioch in 1349. Andrew Vtyn was tenant in Grange of Kerse, 1466." 1
