'''Beatty''' is a [[surname]] of Scottish and Irish origin. In the Scottish case, it is derived from the name [[Bartholomew]], which was often shortened to Bate. Male descendants were then often called Beatty, or similar derivations like Beattie or Beatey. The name Beatty also arose in Ireland from Betagh, a surname meaning hospitaller. A majority of people named Beatty or Beattie in Ireland are the descendants of Scots who came over in the seventeenth century, and live in northeast [[Ulster]]. The remainder live much further south.
