Bart is a short form of the forename Bartholomew. There are two main types of such shortenings: they are convenient for writing, e.g. in lists; or they are essentially spoken pet-names, and thus informal. (See Conventional abbreviations for forenames.)
| Short form | Long form | Informal or written | Other short forms | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bart | Bartholomew | written AND informal | Bat; Brat | St Bartholomew's (teaching) hospital in London is widely known as Bart's |
There is a list of similar names at Conventional abbreviations for forenames, as well as the category:short names
- Note that any informal form may be spelled in different ways. Notably, any spelling listed that ends in '-ie' may be written with the ending '-y', and vice versa.
