U.S. names. We also find Shead, Sheard, Sheat, Sheath, and Sheed. Some derive the name Shead from a Gaelic word signifying a field, but there is no such word in that language. It might, however, be from scadh, strong. Sheat is a provincial (S. ) word for a young hog; the Anglo-Saxon sceard, English sheard, is a fragment; but these names, especially Sheat and Sheath, may translate a maker of sheaths or scabbards (Sheather is an English surname), from Anglo-Saxon sceath, scathe, a sheath.
The Shutes of Gillingham bear the name of an old Devonshire family and of a Devonshire parish.
