Bhatti

The surname Bhatti originates from the Indian subcontinent, particularly among the Punjabi and Rajput communities. It is believed to have been derived from the word "Bhat," which in Sanskrit means "scholar" or "priest." Over time, the name evolved into Bhatti, which is now a recognised surname among many families of Indian and Pakistani descent.

The Bhatti surname is often associated with individuals who are descendants of Brahmins, who were traditionally priests and scholars in Hindu society. However, the name may also be found in Muslim communities, particularly amongst the Rajput clans in the Punjab region of Pakistan.

In the United Kingdom, Bhatti is a relatively common surname among British Asians, particularly those with roots in the Indian subcontinent. Many Bhatti families have made significant contributions to various fields, including academia, business, politics, and the arts.

The Bhatti surname reflects the rich cultural and historical tapestry of South Asia, and its presence in the UK is a testament to the enduring legacy of British Asian communities.

There are approximately 7,030 people named Bhatti in the UK. That makes it roughly the 1,341st most common surname in Britain. Around 108 in a million people in Britain are named Bhatti.
