From bat + man; originally the Bat-Man. By surface analysis, Bat- + man.

Named after the nearby river Batman River. The name of the city and the province are derived from it. See Ottoman Turkish باطمان (Batman) for more information.

From bat (“packsaddle”) + man. The element bat is from French bât, from Old French bast, from Late Latin bastum, possibly from Ancient Greek βαστάζω (bastázō, “to bear, carry, lift”).

From Ottoman Turkish بطمان (batman). Cognate with Chagatai [script needed] (bātmān).

In reference to the superhero Batman.
