The Tattersett name derives from the old English name of Tatessete, which means 'Tathere's dwelling'.{{Citation needed|date=October 2007}} The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a village called Tatessete in the ancient hundred of Brothercross, and is said to be the land of William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey.{{Cite web|url=http://opendomesday.org/place/TF8529/tattersett/|title=Tattersett|website=OpenDomesday.org|publisher=Open Domesday Online|access-date=21 April 2023}}

The boundaries of the hundreds of Norfolk at the time of the Domesday survey remained largely unchanged, and were anciently divided into leets, of which no trace remains. Yet it may be possible to determine the leets of Brothercross, and specifically the leet that Tattersett parish was within. At the time of Domesday, the parishes of the hundreds of Brothercross and Gallow "were strangely intermixed".{{Cite web|url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-hist-norfolk/vol7/pp1-2|title=Gallow and Brothercross Hundreds|website=British-History.ac.uk|publisher=British History Online|access-date=21 April 2023}} When Tattersett parish was transferred to Gallow hundred (well before 1638),Perhaps during the reign of Edward II of England in the early 14th century all the parishes that used the same prior lete court were likely included. Since the end of the 19th century, Gallow hundred has been superseded by other administrative units of government.

The village sign of Tattersett is in the middle of the village green, opposite Mallard Cottages.
