Tuite Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Anglo-French-Scand.) belonging to Tuit or Thuit (Normandy) = the Thwaite or Clearing [Old Norse pueit, whence Norwegian tveit, a clearing] "Sir Richard de Tuite, Knt., accompanied Strongbow to Ireland in 1172, and d. 1211, leaving two sons, Sir Richard de Tuite, Knt., surnamed the Black, and Maurice Tuite, ancestor of Tuite of Sonagh.”—Burke's Peerage, etc., sub nomine ‘Tuite’.

Cocheris, in his ‘Noms de Lieu’ (p. S8), erroneously attributes the T(h)uit names in Normandy (e.g. Thuit Anger and Thuit Signol in the Dept. Eure, and Braquetuit and Carquetuit in the Dept. Seine-Inférieure) to the Scandinavian toft.

A Guide to Irish Names (1964) by Edward MacLysaght

This surname is local, and probably of Norman-Conquest importation into England. It was introduced into Ireland at Strongbow's invasion. Richard de Tuite, who engaged in that expedition, obtained from his leader fair possessions in Teffia, and was made a palatine peer by the title of Baron of Moyashill. He was killed in 1211, by the fall of a tower in Athlone. D'Alton.
