Stutter Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) Stutterer [from late Middle English stut(te, Middle English stoten, to stutter: cp. English Frisian stuttern = Dutch stotteren, to stutter]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

One who has to do with stots; or perhaps rather a corruption of the name Stotherd=stotherd. Stot is a northern provincialism for a young ox, and Chaucer uses the word stot for a horse. "Stot hors, caballus" (Pr. Parv., f. 165). Tyrwhitt thinks Chaucer uses the terra stot for stod, a stallion. Stutgard, capital of Wurtemburg, had its name from the stuts or stallions, formerly kept there for war purposes, and the arms of the city are a mare suckling her colt. We may have this vocable in Studham, Studland, Studley, local names in England. The name Stotherd has become Stothurd, Stothert, Stothard, Stodhart, Stoddart, Stoddard, Stodart, Studart, Studdart, Studdert.

Ludus Patronymicus (1868) by Richard Stephen Charnock

From Stutton; a location name in Suffolk Or from the German, Stutzer; a personal name.
