Pyatt Family History
This unusual name is a medieval nickname surname of French origin. The derivation is from the Old French pre 11th Century 'pye', meaning the magpie. Pyatt is the diminutive form, the suffix 'att' denoting the 'son of' or 'little'. Presumably the original nickname was given to one who enjoyed bright clothes. Very occasionally this surname may be locational from Pyotts Hill in Hampshire, as the variants in the modern idiom include Pyott, and Pyett. During the Middle Ages when it was becoming increasingly common for people to migrate from their birth place to seek work elsewhere, they would often adopt the place name as a means of identification thus resulting in the wide dispersal of the name.Select Audience

What I understand is that they came from Scotland in 600AD. At some point my family immigrated to Ireland probably because of the Protestant movement that tried to banish the Scottish Catholics. From what I know and this could be wrong, the Pyatt's then immigrated to County Cork. From there they came to New York in the 19th Century due to the Potato Famine and settled in Long Island, NY and NY. I do know that my husband's Grandmother spoke Gaelic as her first language. She came from the outer Western Islands of Ireland. I want to take my children to discover their Irish Roots in Ireland and Scotland. Any help you can give me or if you need more information, I can hopefully obtain some more. Thanks. Julia Pyatt
