The name Gaunt , especially in Yorkshire, indicates that the family is descended from Huguenot wool workers of Ghent in Belgium. Many Huguenots fled to England to escape persecution. Alternatively it could just mean thin-faced.

PS: Marvolo Gaunt is Voldemort's (Tom Marvolo Riddle) Grandfather! That is from the Harry Potter Series.
