Dutch: from Middle Dutch sprute ‘sprout, shoot’, either a nickname for a young or delicate person, or possibly, in the sense of ‘offshoot, descendant’, a nickname for someone linked by birth to a distinguished local family.
English (Lancashire): from Middle English sprout ‘(new) shoot of a plant, bud’, perhaps a nickname given to a small, thin (young?) person. It may have been used interchangeably with Sprott and Sproat , either because the medieval sense was similar or because, with a different pronunciation, it was an altered form of Sproat.
