Holt (surname)
Holt is a given name and surname. Etymology Holt is a surname and placename, of Proto-Germanic origin and meaning a small wood or grove of trees. It derives from the Old English word ''holt'' and is a near-synonym of "wold" (from Old English ''wald''), originally denoting a forested upland. Those words are cognate with the modern German words "Holz" and "Wald" respectively. The word is also found in Scandinavian placenames and in surnames derived from them: in Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic as ''Holt'' (or the more archaic Danish ''Holdt'' and ''Holte''); in Swedish as ''Hult'' or ''Hulte''; and even in Finnish as ''Hulti'' (a loanword from Swedish). It is often used in combination with other words, as in ''Uhrenholdt'' ("ancient holt", a Danish last name taken from that of an estate) or Älghult ("elk holt"), a village and the site of a small art-glass factory in Småland, Sweden. In Sweden it is most commonly found in and around Småland, including Älmhult, the location of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Surname
In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family, tribe or community. Practices vary by culture. The family name may be placed at either the start of a person's full name, as the forename, or at the end; the number of surnames given to an individual also varies. As the surname indicates genetic inheritance, all members of a family unit may have identical surnames or there may be variations; for example, a woman might marry and have a child, but later remarry and have another child by a different father, and as such both children could have different surnames. It is common to see two or more words in a surname, such as in compound surnames. Compound surnames can be composed of separate names, such as in traditional Spanish culture, they can be hyphenated together, or may contain prefixes. Using names has been documented in even the oldest historical records. Examples of surnames are documented in the 11th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
