词源

Partial calque of German Battenberg (literally “Batten mountain”), equivalent to mount + Batten. The name was anglicised by Prince Louis of Battenberg and his children and nephews on 14 July 1917 after renouncing their German titles, due to anti-German feeling during World War I. They had considered an alternative translation, Battenhill, but later rejected it. The neighbourhood is named after Lord Louis Mountbatten (1900–1979).
