Wyatt is a masculine name that developed from an English surname, originally derived from medieval personal names such as Wyot and Wyard. These older forms trace back to the Old English name Wigheard, whose elements are associated with war and strength or bravery. Wyatt became widely recognizable in American culture through historical figures such as lawman Wyatt Earp and is now used as a given name in its own right. Its firm sound and concise spelling give it a distinctly English-language style.
