Kitt Family History

English (Cornwall and Devon): from the Middle English personal name Kitte. Early Middle English examples may be survivals of the Old English name Cytta, a variant of Cydda, which is a pet form of names containing the element Cūth- such as Cuthbert. This appears to have gone out of use as a personal name by around 1200.

Later examples are often pet forms of Christopher and Christina. Irish: variant of Kett. German: perhaps from Middle High German kīt ‘offshoot, sprout’ applied as a nickname for a junior member of a family;

alternatively, it may be from the old personal name Giddo.
