Surname Name Meaning, Origin, and Etymology
This Scottish and English last name Stewart and Stuart are sharpened versions of the surnames Steward and Stuard. The aforementioned names have two origin theories. First, it may be a baptismal surname meaning “the son of Steuhard or Stuard”. Second, it is likely an occupational surname from the office of “the steward”, a powerful position in medieval times where a servant supervised the lord’s estate and his household, an administrative official of a state or house, and often had a mandate to govern and represent the royal monarch. It derives from the Middle English word steward and Old English word stigweard or stiweard, a compound of stig (household) and weard (guardian). It is related to the Old Norse word stiuardr, a guardian or keeper.

: Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots (1542-1587)

: Lady Margaret Stewart (c. 1591-1639), daughter of 2nd Earl of Moray, lady-in-waiting to queen consort of England, Anne of Denmark

The book Some Scotch Surnames by C. Innes states, “It was not till after several generations that the Fitz-Walters and Fitz-Alans took that name [Stewart], destined to become so illustrious, from their office of steward of the royal household”.Starting in the 1200s AD, it became a very important title in Scotland, known as the Steward of Scotland, which was the highest rank in the kingdom below that of King or Queen. The book An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names by William Arthur states, “Walter, the son of Fleance, and grand-son of Banquo, was created, by Malcom III. Lord High Steward of Scotland, from which office his family afterward took and retained ‘the name of Stewart, and from them descended the royal family of Stuart”.

Mark Antony Lower’s Patronymica Britannica states the following: “Alan, the son of Flaald, a man of whose paternal ancestry and nation nothing is clearly known, and who died very early in the XII cent., was the common parent of William Fitz-Alan, ancestor of the Earls of Arundel, and of Walter Fitz-Alan,

Steward of Scotland, whose great-grandson, Alexander, assumed Stuart as his surname, and was the ancestor of the royal race of that dynasty. From the latter of these sons springs Queen Victoria, and from the former, her Majesty’s highest temporal subject, the Duke of Norfolk, premier peer of the realm. Whatever may have been the male ancestry of Flaald, it is certain that he was descended on his mother’s side from the old Princes of Wales and from the ancient Saxon Earls of Mercia.”

The surname is discussed at length in George Fraser Black’s “The Surnames of Scotland”, published in 1946, a brief excerpt of which is as follows: “In 1315 he had married Marjory, daughter of King Robert the Bruce, who bore to him a son, Robert, afterwards Robert II, first of the royal line of Stewart, crowned in 1371. Many people imagine that all persons bearing the name Stewart (or its variants) are of royal descent, but it must be borne in mind that there were stewards and stewards, as King James the Sixth emphasized when he said that all Stewarts were not ‘sib’ to the king”.

The surname was brought from Scotland to England by Alan, a knight who settled in Shropshire.

: John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl (1440-1512)

James Stewart, 5^th High Steward of Scotland, swore loyalty to King Edward I of England, but later sided with William Wallace and Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence. Walter, the 6^th High Steward, married a daughter of King Robert the Bruce named Marjory, and when Robert’s son diued, he was succeeded by Walter’s son: Robert II. Robert II had many issue, including John, who succeeded to the throne as Robert III. The Stewart male line was uninterrupted until the reign of Mary Queen of Scots. They held the thone of Scotland and later England until 1714 when Queen Anne of Great Britain passed away.
