Hatteras is of French origin, derived from the Normandy region's Hatters' Association. It translates to 'hat maker' or 'milliner'. This name gained popularity due to its association with Cape Hatteras, the easternmost point in North Carolina, USA. The cape was named after Sir Richard Grenville, who claimed it for England, dedicating it to his benefactor Queen Elizabeth I as 'the hat (hatter) of Her Majesty's lands.'
"The name Hatteras had five births each year in 2018 and 2019, with another five births occurring in 2022, making a total of fifteen children named Hatteras born during these years."
