 Scotland Ireland
The Studd surname is generally thought to derive from the Middle English word "stott," meaning a "steer," or "bull." 1 As such it was likely originally an occupational name for a cattleman, or perhaps a nickname. Some instances of the name in Scotland may have come from the Viking name Stoti, which likely arrived with the 9th century Norse colonization of Strathclyde and Aberdeenshire.

Later, Margaret Stote held a family seat in Dolphinstoun in Lanarkshire in 1675, and Alexander Stote held a family seat in Maynes in Balyeordie in Renfrewshire in 1689. 2 Early History of the Studd familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Studd research.
