A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

(Anglo-Scand.) may represent the Anglicized form Cnut of the Old Norse Knút-r (v. Nutt, A.-Scand.) with the Old Teutonic son suff. -ing; but more likely = the ‘Nut- Meadow’ [Old English hnut, nut + Old Northern English ing, Old Norse eng, meadow] Willelmus Nutyng.—Yorks Poll-Tax, A.D. 1379. Cp. Nottlng.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

Ferguson derives this name and Nutt from Knut, or Canute, the Danish personal name; and adds that the name of Knut was derived from a wen or tumour on his head. It is however worthy of remark, that the hazel, Anglo-Saxon hnut-beam, gave rise to several names of places, from some of which surnames have been derived, as Nutfleld, Nuthall, Nuthurst, Nutley, Nuthampstead. The names Nutter and Nuttman are also probably connected with this tree-signifying, perhaps, dealers in its fruit.
