According to the Internet Surname Database, my surname, Gatlin, is of Anglo-Saxon origin. The site states that the surname is "a nickname for a fellow, companion or for a wandering man, from the Olde English gaedeling, Old High German gateling, a cousin, companion." The first record of the surname is from the 13th century: Geoffrey Gatelin and Johanna Gatelyn were recorded on the Hundred Rolls of Wiltshire in 1273.
