Nothard Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from an occupation. 'the neat-herd,' a tender of cattle; compare Coward, Oxnard, Shepherd, Calvert, the suffix of all of which is -herd. Middle English neet, Icel. naut, cattle. Every variety of form is found in Yorkshire records. I will simply quote the Poll Tax.
Johannes Nawtehird, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Willelmus Nouthird, 1379: ibid.
Johannes Nedhard, 1379: ibid.
Johannes Nawtard, 1379: ibid.
Willelmus Netherd, 1379: ibid.
Cecilia Neawterd, 1379:.
Adam Netehird, 1379: ibid.
I cannot find any modern representatives of these forms, saving one Nothard in the London Directory. I doubt not the present dress is Nutter through an intermediate stage Nuttard or Nutterd. Then the final 'd' was dropped, and thus as Nutter this interesting surname still maintains a respectable appearance in our larger directories.
(Teutonic) 1 Neat-Herd [Old Norse naut = Old English neát, cattle + Old Norse hirþi-r = Old English hierde, herd(sman] Willelmus Nouthird.—Yorks Poll-Tax, A.D. 1379.
2 the Anglo-Saxon pers. name Noph(e)ard [Old English nóp, boldness + h(e)ard, hard, brave]
“Very Zealous” in Old German (Neit Hart).
Same as the German Old German names Nothart, Nithard, Neidhart; from Old German neid-hart, which may be variously rendered "very honest," "very crafty," "very zealous." See Wachter, under neid and neidhart, where he renders Nithardus homo valde probus, et ad communem utilitatem natus, &c.
