Baitup Family History

Baitup Surname Meaning

Unexplained. Possibly a nickname from Middle English bai ‘reddish brown’ + top(pe) ‘hair on the head; tuft of hair’ (Old English topp(a)) or possibly a nickname from either Middle English baiten ‘to feed (an animal)’ or the falconry term baten ‘to beat the wings impatiently and flutter away from the fist or perch’ (OED) + up ‘up’.

The alias Baitam recorded in 1610 is equally unexplained. No medieval bearers have been found.
