Hewet

Hewet is a masculine name with medieval English origins, functioning as a diminutive form of Hugh, which derives from the Germanic element 'hug' meaning 'heart,' 'mind,' or 'spirit.' This charming vintage name was relatively common in England during the Middle Ages but has since become quite rare. Hewet carries a distinctive old-world quality that connects to Anglo-Saxon heritage.

If you're naming your son for an ancestral Hugh, Hewet can make an individual short form.
