Threatt Family History

English (Norfolk): altered form of the rare surname Thread from Middle English threde ‘thread, twine, cord, yarn’ (Old English thrǣd).

It may have originally served as a nickname for someone who manufactured, sold, or worked with thread or cord.

The surname indicates a connection to a craft or trade involving textiles.

Interestingly, the surname is no longer extant in England in any of its forms.

This suggests that the specific occupation or the family associated with it has faded from the historical record.
