Where did the Scottish Scarlet family come from? What is the Scottish Scarlet family crest and coat of arms? When did the Scarlet family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Scarlet family history?

The origins the old family name Scarlet can be found within medieval Scotland. While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the name of the father and mother respectively, are the most common form of a hereditary surname in Scotland, occupational surnames also emerged during the late Middle Ages. Many people, such as the Scarlet family, adopted the name of their occupation as their surname. However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Scarlet was an occupational name for a person who dyed bright fabrics. Interestingly, the name Scarlet was derived from the Old French word "escarlet," meaning "scarlet," and indicating one of the bright colors in which the bearer dealt.
