The history of the last name Sattiewhite

The surname "SATTIEWHITE" is believed to have originated in England during the medieval period, likely as a locational name or a descriptive nickname. It is thought to be derived from the Old English words "sæte" meaning "dwelling" or "settlement," and "hwit" meaning "white," possibly referring to a white house or a location with white buildings or landscapes.

One of the earliest recorded instances of this surname can be traced back to the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of landowners and tenants commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The entry "Ricardus Satiwhite" is found in the records for Oxfordshire, suggesting that the name was already in use during the late 11th century.

During the 13th century, variations of the name such as "Satewhite" and "Sattwhyte" appeared in various county records and charters, indicating the gradual evolution of the spelling. Some of these early records include Robert Satewhite, a landowner in Wiltshire in 1273, and John Sattwhyte, a freeman of the City of London in 1298.

In the 14th century, the surname gained further prominence with the mention of Sir William Sattiewhite, a knight who fought alongside Edward III during the Hundred Years' War. Born in 1320 in Gloucestershire, Sir William was renowned for his bravery and military prowess, earning him a place in the chronicles of the time.

Another notable figure bearing this surname was Elizabeth Sattiewhite, a renowned herbalist and midwife who lived in Warwickshire during the late 15th century. Her extensive knowledge of medicinal plants and childbirth techniques earned her a respected reputation among the local gentry.

In the 16th century, the surname continued to be associated with various professions and social classes. John Sattiewhite (1542-1612) was a prosperous merchant and alderman in the City of Bristol, while Thomas Sattiewhite (1568-1637) was a renowned scholar and theologian who served as the Rector of St. Mary's Church in Oxford.
