A Watts family website Ministry of Injustice !

The surname Watts has English origins and is of patronymic nature, meaning it was originally derived from a personal name. In this case, “Watts” is a short form or a variant of the name Walter. The name Walter itself has Germanic roots, derived from the Old Germanic elements “wald,” meaning “rule,” and “heri,” meaning “army” or “warrior.”

Over time, the name Walter evolved into various forms and spellings, and Watts became one of those variations. The addition of the “-s” is a common way of forming a patronymic surname, indicating “son of Walter.”

The surname Watts has been found in historical records dating back to the Middle Ages in England. It is a relatively common surname, and individuals bearing this name have played various roles in society over the centuries. Like many surnames, it may have spread and evolved as families moved to different regions, and different branches of the family adopted variations of the name.
