Best Answer

The English surname Pretty is thought to have originated in Suffolk, where it implied a quick witted person. Some of the Prettys were involved in the sailing barge trade taking timber down the east coast to Kent, and at least 2 families settled in the paper-making town Sittingbourne in the 19th century.
