The distinguished English surname of Jellett is first found in Norfolk, where they held a family seat and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy in recognition of their efforts in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. However, Jellett is a diminutive form (pet name) of the medieval given name Giles, which derives from the Greek "aigidion", meaning "kid" or "young goat".
During World War II, a certain John Holmes Jellett, OBE,DSC, MA, was the Superintending Civil Engineer of Mulberry Harbor B, a temporary concrete harbor that landed 2 million men , half a million vehicles, and four million tons of supplies for the Liberation of Europe.
