A variant or dialectal form, possibly referring to a place or family name, though its exact meaning is obscure in historical records.
Likely a combination of 'gat' (gate or water channel) and 'ridge' (a long elevated landform), possibly indicating a geographical location.
Many old English place names encode the landscape—'-ridge' always means a hill, '-ford' means a river crossing, so 'gatteridge' probably pointed to a specific spot in medieval England that made sense to locals.
