Beaton (surname)

Beaton is a Scottish surname in the English language, which has multiple origins. One origin of the name is from the placename of Béthune, in Pas-de-Calais, France. Another derivation is from the mediaeval personal name Beaton, Beton, which is pet form of a short form of the names Bartholomew or Beatrice.[1] Bartholomew is a masculine name, while Beatrice is a feminine name; the names are not etymologically related to each other.[2] Another derivation of the surname Beaton is that it is an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic Mac Beath.[1]
The surname Beaton can be represented in Scottish Gaelic as Peutan (masculine form), and Pheutan (feminine form).[3]
