Wyatt Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History

Wyatt Surname Name Meaning, Origin, History, & Etymology
This Anglo-Saxon-French-Teutonic last name is a baptismal or patronymic one meaning “the son of Guy” from the diminutive (shortened version or nickname) Guyot, spelled Wyot in England, also spelled Wiot and Gyot, which were medieval person (first) names used in England and France as masculine given names. The names ultimately derive from the Old English personal name Wigheard, consisting of the words wig (war) and heard (hardy, strong, or brave). The name Guy (or Why or Wi) derives from the Germanic word wido, meaning wood or wide. Under the Norman French in the Middle Ages in Christendom, the name was also used as a shortened version of the ancient male given names Guy and William. Mark Antony Lower’s nineteenth century book Patronymica Britannica stated the following about this name: “from the Norman-French personal name Gui or Guido, which we have also received in the form of Guy. The name Guyatt is still found in West Sussex”. The 1965 book South African Surnames by Eric Rosenthal states this name means “Little Guy” in Old English. The name was brought into the British Isles after the Norman Invasion of 1066 AD led by William the Conqueror and the name first took root in county Sussex, England, where the family held lands and title.
