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] |
