Scott

Meaning

Scott is best known as an English and Scottish surname used as a given name. In general onomastic use, it refers to someone from Scotland or of Scottish descent, ultimately tied to the ethnonym "Scot." The excerpt also hints at a Celtic association, but it does not give a fuller etymology for the given name itself.

Origin

Fun fact

Scott became popular as a first name much later than as a surname, which is typical of many English surname names.
