Ever heard of the name "Bouaty"?
« on: Tuesday 03 January 12 18:23 GMT (UK) »
The link below shows a baptism record for a William Edwards whose parents are Richard and Bouaty. I myself have never come across the name "Bouaty" before but was wandering if someone knows if the name is a diminutive of another more common name.
Any help will be much appreciated

Regards
Edwards96

The Ancestry link doesn't work if you don't have a subscription.

My first thought was that it was a mis-spelling of Beauty.  I see William was a twin.  Brother George.

I wondered if it was Bounty - short for Bountiful. Still not a very common name though.

Could be Bonaty - but still never heard of it.

That's because it's exactly the same link - it's just been 'shrunk'  ;D

It definitely looks like Bouaty or Bonaty, very clearly!  I've never heard of it as a first name but I just googled it and a person with Bouaty as a first name is on FaceBook!  It's perhaps a foreign name.
