Dewit Origin and Meaning

The name Dewit is a boy's name.

Dewit is a masculine name with Anglo-Saxon origins, likely derived from the surname DeWitt or De Witt, which means "the white one" or "the fair one" in Dutch. It's also possibly a variant spelling of Dewitt, which emerged as a given name from this surname tradition. Historically, the name has connections to prominent Dutch families who brought it to America during colonial times. Dewit has maintained a consistently rare status throughout the years, never reaching high popularity charts. It carries a distinctive, traditional sound while remaining uncommon, appealing to parents looking for a name with historical depth but minimal contemporary usage.
