What is the origin of surname Stott?

Answer 1

The Stott name was first spelled Stoti. The

Stott clan originally came from a Germanic tribe. After the fall of the Roman

Empire in the 4th Century the Germanic tribes spread into every direction. Some

of the Stott clan spread into the Netherland/Belgium area and became the Norse

Vikings. The Stott Clan in the 9th Century made their way over the United

Kingdom with not the best intentions in mind. Stoti eventually came to be

spelled Stott. Most all names such as Stotte, Stoat, Stit, Stitt, and many others

came to be by the misspelling of the name.
