The Batlle Surname comes from the Latin word "bátulos" that in the Catalan language is applied to the president of a municipal consistory. In other veguerias (Medieval administrative jurisdiction) of Catalonia it meant: Representative of the King. It is of particular importance in Uruguayan political history.
