Summary/Contribute


Meaning Nickname: Nott-headed, whith the hair cropped close, from 'nott,' to shear.
The son of Cnut, found in the 13th century as Note. The diminutive Nutkins and the patronymic Notson clearly establish the fontal origin of this surname. There are two Cnuts in Domesday, one in county York, the other in county Derby.
'Hnott,' Saxon, smooth, round, a nut. 'Notted,' an old word for shorn, polled. The name may have come from wearing the hair short and smooth. "A nott hed had he, with a brown visage." - Chaucer. The following, it is said, was penned by the first wife of the Rev. Dr. Nott, on his asking her hand in marriage: " Why urge, dear sir, a bashful maid, To change her single lot, When well you know, I've often said In truth, I love you, Nott. For all your pain I do, Nott, care, And trust me on my life, Though you had thousands, - I declare, I would, Nott, be your wife."
