English (southern): habitational name from the city of Bath in Somerset, or possibly from Bathe Barton in North Tawton in Devon, or some other minor places so called.

In some cases the surname may have originated as a metonymic occupational name for an attendant at a public bath house.
German: variant of Bathe .
