Hewertson Surname Definition:

This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Hugh.' No doubt a corruption of the great Yorkshire surname Hewetson; v. Hewett. It would cross into Furness and Cumberland, where it is still well known. I do not think it has any connexion with the Scotch Ewart.
