Meaning & History

English: topographic name for someone who lived by the gates of a medieval walled town. The Middle English singular gate is from the Old English plural, gatu, of geat ‘gate’ (see Yates). Since medieval gates were normally arranged in pairs, fastened in the center, the Old English plural came to function as a singular, and a new Middle English plural ending in -s was formed. In some cases the name may refer specifically to the Sussex place Eastergate (i.e. ‘eastern gate’), known also as Gates in the 13th and 14th centuries, when surnames were being acquired.

Americanized spelling of German Götz (see Goetz).

Translated form of French Barrière (see Barriere).

FOREBEARS In New England, Gates was the preferred English version of the name of an extensive French family, called Barrière dit Langevin. Horatio Gates, a British military officer born in Maldon, England, in about 1728, fought on the colonial side in the American Revolution, settled in VA after the war, and died in NY.
