Name Meaning
Scottish (Dumfriesshire) and English: possibly in some instances from Scots steet ‘prop, support’, a variant of stut which is also recorded in this sense from northern England (compare Stant ). Alternatively, there is Old Norse stytti, which is found in the same sense as stytting ‘shortening; shortness, unfriendliness’, and may be the source of a lost English or Scots word.
