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).

Mountbatten is the family name originally adopted by a branch of the Battenberg family due to rising anti-German sentiment among the British public during World War I. On 14 July 1917, Prince Louis of Battenberg ("Prince Louis I") assumed the surname Mountbatten (having rejected an alternative translation, "Battenhill") for himself and his descendants, and was created Marquess of Milford Haven. The name is an Anglicisation of the German Battenberg, a small town in Hesse. The title of count of Battenberg, later prince of Battenberg, was granted to a morganatic branch of the House of Hesse-Darmstadt in the mid 19th century.
