General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Beatty

---

The name and the family of Beatty seems to have had its origin in the northern lowlands of Scotland. It extended to the north of Ireland, in a more limited degree to England, and has finally spread to all parts of the world to which these countries have sent out emigrants. The name is supposed to have been derived from the Latin, Beatus, which has also made Beaton. But the name of the Cardinal seems not to have been popular among the Scotch Reformers-and Beate was preferred-which after softening the final letter into "ie" and sometimes duplicating the middle consonant, gave either Beatie or Beattie-the usual spelling in Scotland. In migrating to the other island it has changed the termination into "y," so that commonly the Irish has the spelling Beaty, or more frequently Beatty. In going into the southern kingdom another change took place, by eliminating the first "e" in the name, so that it became either Baty, Batty or Batey. Such are some of the variations of a single common name, and by the spelling it may be generally known whether the family comes from Scotland, Ireland or England. ²
