No, Wyatt is the English form of the Old French name Guidon!

When French words came to England after 1066, the French Gu was replaced with an English W. For example, the guard became a ward.

The D sound was then softened to a T, and the second syllable (which was only a diminutive) was dropped.

Allow for the irregular spelling of the time, and Guidonis now Wyatt.
