Name Meaning
Scottish: habitational name from Spottiswoode in Westruther (Berwickshire). The placename may be from an unrecorded personal name Spott + Old English wudu ‘wood’, but there is also a Scots usage of spot in placenames to mean ‘small area or extent of land’.
History: All bearers of this surname are probably descended from Robert de Spotswood (flourished c. 1300). — Alexander Spotswood, a British army officer born in Tangiers in 1676, was appointed lieutenant governor of VA in 1710, was removed from office in 1722 for his support of VA colonists, and died in Annapolis, MD, while raising a colonial regiment to fight the Spanish.
