Bates Genealogy & History
Bates is an English patronymic name based on the medieval given name "Bate", a diminutive of Bartholomew. Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles, derives from the Aramaic (biblical) patronymic "bar-Talmai", whose derivation means "rich soil". In Old Norse, "bat" means "profit"; Bates could be locational for someone living by a rich pasture. A third derivation is Old English "bat", meaning "boat"; Bates could be occupational for a boatman. In Bates family history, the family seat was in Yorkshire prior to the Norman Conquest. In American Bates genealogy, the first immigrant lived in Virginia by 1623. The Bates motto "et manu et corde" is French for "with hand and heart".
