Ayotte Family History
Ayotte Name Meaning
Altered form of northern French Hayot: probably a variant of Haillot derived from regional haille ‘rag’ and used as a nickname for a raggedly dressed individual; or perhaps a variant of Aillot an occupational name for a garlic seller from a derivative of ail ‘garlic’. Altered ending reflects the Canadian and American French practice of sounding the final -t. Compare Iott .
