The history of the last name Isgitt

The surname ISGITT originated in England, tracing its roots back to the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "iseg" meaning ice and "gyt" meaning stream, suggesting it may have been a topographical name given to someone living near an icy stream or river.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name ISGITT can be found in the Hundred Rolls of Oxfordshire from 1273, where it appears as "Isegyt". This implies the name had already been established in the region by that time. Similar spellings like "Isegith" and "Isegith" were also documented in various medieval records throughout the following centuries.

During the 16th century, the name ISGITT surfaced in the parish records of several villages in Oxfordshire, such as Woodstock and Bladon. Notable bearers of the name from this period include William ISGITT, born in 1537 in Bladon, and John ISGITT, baptized in Woodstock in 1562.

As the name spread across England, it underwent slight variations in spelling, with forms like "Isgitt" and "Isgit" appearing in different regions. In the 17th century, records show instances of the name in counties like Gloucestershire and Somerset, potentially indicating the migration of families bearing the surname.

One of the earliest known individuals with the surname ISGITT was Robert ISGITT, born in 1612 in the village of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. Another notable figure was Thomas ISGITT, a wealthy landowner from Somerset who lived from 1645 to 1721.

By the 18th century, the ISGITT name had established a presence in other parts of England, including London. John ISGITT, born in 1734 in the city, was a prominent merchant and trader who played a role in the expansion of British commerce during that period.
