Name Meaning
Dutch: archaic variant of Swartwolt, from swart ‘black’ + wout ‘forest, wood’. The surname Swartwolt is very rare in the Netherlands and the variant Swartwout is no longer found there. In North America, the surname Swartwout may also be a Dutch translation of the German cognate Schwarzwald. Compare Swarthout , Swartout , and Swartwood .
