History
Joseph Toledano rattache ce patronyme d'origine berbère à la tribu des Baha, de la confédération des Berghouata, établie dans la plaine de la Chaouïa et largement judaïsée avant l'islamisation du Maroc au VIIIe siècle, avant l'arrivée de Moulay Idriss Ier. Le nom figure sur la liste Tolédano des patronymes attestés au Maroc au XVIe siècle. Rabbi Yossef Bahtit, fils de Yeshaya et descendant d'expulsés d'Espagne, mort à Meknès en 1711, compta parmi les plus grands rabbins de sa génération et dirigea une yéchiba pendant près de soixante-dix ans ; son fils fut rabbi Yaacob, et ses petits-enfants montèrent à Tibériade vers 1840. Au XXe siècle, le nom était extrêmement rare, porté uniquement au Maroc, à Meknès, et par émigration à Tibériade.
