Wyeth

Landing somewhere between Wyatt, Gareth, and Wilf, Wyeth is a surname inspired name, notably associated with 20th century American artist, N. C. Wyeth and his family, many of whom were also artists, musicians, and inventors themselves.

The name potentially derives from the Old English word withig meaning "willow", of from the Old French Guyat, a diminutive of Guy, meaning "guide". Other sources suggest it might be an Old English variation of Wyatt, meaning "brave in war".

As a given name, it has been used for around 360 boys since the 70s, so while it is a rare choice, it's not totally obscure.

Pronounced WY-uth.

As of October 2026, Wyeth ranked #10824 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #4568 in 1987.
