Early Origins of the Natt family

The surname Natt was first found in the Rhineland, where this family was a prominent contributor to the development of the district from ancient times. The name is an Ashkenazic/ Hebraic name which moved from central Germany to the Rhineland from the Hebrew given name Natan meaning 'Given', borne by a minor biblical prophet. From Johnathon, the name became an integral part of that turbulent region as it forged alliances with other families within the region and the nation.
