Correspondents say it is the largest number of Bahrainis to be stripped of their nationality since 2013.
At that time a law was introduced to punish people convicted of terrorism.
Bahrain has been wracked by unrest since an uprising in 2011 in which the Shia majority demanded democratic reforms from the Sunni-led government.
Tensions have been high since elections in November were boycotted by the opposition, who said parliament lacked sufficient powers and that constituency boundaries had been redrawn to favour their supporters.
The Reuters news agency says the fact that Saturday's list includes the names of well-known Sunni and Shia Muslim families indicates that the move is not solely directed at eradicating long-running unrest among Bahrain's Shia Muslim majority.
The revocation policy has been strongly condemned by human rights groups.
Previous citizenship revocations in recent years have been directed at activists abroad and in Bahrain, who were afterwards told to leave the country.
"The ruler of Bahrain revoked my citizenship today without a court, any charges or clear evidence of why," British-based Bahraini blogger and activist Ali Abdulemam wrote on Twitter.
Bahrain's governing al-Khalifa family used martial law and assistance from its neighbours in the Gulf to suppress a Shia uprising in 2011, but the unrest has persisted and protesters and police often clash.

Lewis said: "It's amazing to be here and for everyone to come out like this."

Rutter led Great Britain's Paralympic cerebral palsy seven-a-side football side at the Rio games.
The parade went from Newerne Street via Bathurst Park Coronation Gates to the Pavilion, where a reception was held.
Lewis said it was more emotional to see everyone turn out for the homecoming than crossing the finish line in Rio.
"I'm so proud to be from Lydney and to be here with everyone.
"This medal means so much to me but the people of Lydney contributed to this," he added.
His wife, Becky Lewis, said: "I'm very proud, he's one in a million."

Article: The Frenchman, 25, suffered fatal head injuries when his car collided with a mobile crane at the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka in October 2014.
British firm Stewarts Law, acting for the Bianchi family, are planning to sue the FIA, Bianchi's Marussia team and Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Group.
"Jules Bianchi's death was avoidable," said lawyer Julian Chamberlayne.
The Bianchi family believe the actions of one or more of the three parties may have contributed to the crash.
They claim errors were made in the "planning, timing, organisation and conduct of the race", which they argue "took place in dangerous conditions during the typhoon season in Japan".
Bianchi's father Philippe added: "We seek justice for Jules and want to establish the truth about the decisions that led to our son's crash.
"We have so many unanswered questions and feel that Jules' accident and death could have been avoided if a series of mistakes had not been made."
Bianchi died on 17 July 2015, nine months after he crashed into the recovery vehicle at Suzuka in what was his 34th F1 race.
He was the first F1 driver to die as a result of injuries sustained at a race weekend since Brazilian Ayrton Senna in 1994.
Chamberlayne added: "The FIA Panel Inquiry Report into this accident made numerous recommendations to improve safety in Formula One but failed to identify where errors had been made which led to Jules' death.
"It was surprising and distressing to the Bianchi family that the FIA panel in its conclusions, whilst noting a number of contributing factors, blamed Jules.
"The Bianchi family are determined that this legal process should require those involved to provide answers and to take responsibility for any failings.
"This is important if current and future drivers are to have confidence that safety in the sport will be put first.
"If this had been the case in Suzuka, Jules Bianchi would most likely still be alive and competing in the sport he loved today."

Article: He is alleged to have "misled the court" during the drugs trial, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
Mr Mahmood said in a statement that he denied the offence and would "vigorously contest it at court".
He has been charged alongside Alan Smith, who was his driver.
Former News of the World reporter Mr Mahmood, who often posed as a sheikh during his investigations, claims to have helped put more than 100 criminals behind bars during his 25-year career.
Nick Vamos, of the CPS, said: "After carefully considering all of the evidence the CPS has decided that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to charge both men.
"This decision comes after it was alleged that Mr Smith agreed with Mr Mahmood to change his statement to police as part of a trial in July 2014, and that Mr Mahmood then misled the court."
Former N-Dubz singer Miss Contostavlos, 27, had gone on trial at Southwark Crown Court charged with supplying a class A drug, which she denied, after it was alleged she had brokered a cocaine deal.
It had featured in a Sun on Sunday story in June 2013, following an investigation by Mr Mahmood.
A judge threw out the case last July and also cleared Miss Contostavlos's friend Michael Coombs, known as Mike GLC.
Following the collapse of the trial, she said she had "never dealt drugs" and "never been involved in taking or dealing cocaine".
In a statement issued by his lawyers, Mr Mahmood said: "I am deeply disappointed that, after a totally unjustified delay, the Crown Prosecution Service have today informed me that they have decided to charge me with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
"I deny the offence. I will vigorously contest it at court. In the meantime I have nothing further to say."
Mr Mahmood and Mr Smith will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 30 October.
