Name Meaning
English (Middlesex and Surrey; at least in part of French Huguenot origin): variant of Gosset .
Altered form of French, Walloon, and Channel Islands (Jersey; of French Huguenot origin) Gosset , reflecting the Canadian and American French practice of sounding the final -t.
History: The majority of the American bearers of the surname Gossett are descendants of Jean Gosset, a Huguenot from Normandy, who fled to the isle of Jersey in 1685. The surname was brought to North America in the middle of the 18th century from Jersey by John and Peter Gosset(t), grandsons of Jean Gosset.
