"Βάττος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Βάττος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /bát.tos/, /ˈβat.tos/, /ˈva.tos/, /bát.tos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈbat.tos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈβat.tos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈvat.tos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈva.tos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The name is said to mean "tongue-tied" or "stuttering, stammering," related to βατταρίζω (battarízō, “I stutter, say nonsense”), eventually imitative. Herodotus and Pindar challenged this origin and promoted a folk etymology of the name being a translation for the Libyan/Berber word for "king."
