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

The origins the old family name Scarlett 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 Scarlett 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 Scarlett was an occupational name for a person who dyed bright fabrics. Interestingly, the name Scarlett was derived from the Old French word "escarlet," meaning "scarlet," and indicating one of the bright colors in which the bearer dealt.
