Trout Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Troit' or Trote or Troyt. One of the forms of Trude, found in such compounds as Ger-trude, Hil-trude; formerly a name of itself. Hence 'Dame Trott' in the nursery rhyme (v. Yonge, ii. 235-6). The name is frequently found in the Exchequer Lay Subsidies, Somerset.
'Edward III, and in various forms is still familiar to that county. Speaking generally, the surname has steadily settled down into Trott Robertus fit Troite, 7 Henry II, Pipe Roll.
Robert fil. Trote, 1165: The Pipe Rolls, or Sheriff's Annual Accounts of the Counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and Durham during the reigns of Henry II, Richard I and John.
Richard fil. Truite, 1179: ibid.
The first two probably represent the same individual. I furnish both instances because of the twofold spelling. It will be well to furnish some early variants:
Nicholas Truhyt, Somerset, l Edward III: Kirby's Quest.
Thomas Troht, Somerset, 1 Edward III: ibid.
Robert Trote, Somerset, 1 Edward III: ibid.
Thomas Trut, Somerset, 1 Edward III: ibid.
Robert Tryut, Somerset, 1 Edward III:
Philip Troyt, Norfolk, ibid.
Jefthe French Trote, bailiff of Yarmouth, 1340: History of Norfolk.
1661. Married — William Fitter and Jane Trott: St. Michael, Cornhill.
Nick 'the trout,' the fish so named. The earliest instance I can find is in Yorkshire It is there we find the surname Bucktrout, q v. (2) Bapt. 'the son of Trote.' This must undoubtedly be considered the parent. For an account of the name, v. Trott. Scarcely a single seeming fish-name like Salmon, Turbot, Chubb, &c, represents the finny tribe.
Thomas Trout, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
1601- 2. John Rae and Susan Trowte, widow: Marriage Lic. (London).
1602- 3. John Trout, Somerset: Register of the University of Oxford.
1776. Married — Jacob Trout and Elizabeth Evans: St. George, Hanover Square.
(Teutonic) a variant of Trott, q.v. (occasionally) (Anglo-Latin) a nickname from the fish so called [Old English truht, Latin tructa] Thomas Trout.—Yorks Poll-Tax, A.D. 1379. The surname Bucktrout occurs.
1. See Trotman. 2. Mr. Ferguson deduces it from the German traut, dear; Low German, drud, dear, beloved.
Possibly from the fish.
Perhaps from Drought or its root. (See Drought. ) It would also corrupt from Tyrwhitt. See Truefitt.
The Trotts are now established in the neighbouring districts of Honiton and Cullompton. John Trott, one of the martyrs of Monmouth's rebellion in 1685, died on the scaffold at Bridgewater ("Western Martyrology").
