The surname Stewart must be one the best known names associated with Scotland. The surname Stewart was an occupational name for a steward, the official in charge of a noble household and its treasury. 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 Stewart family, adopted the name of their occupation as their surname. As every great house, Earl and Bishop in medieval England and Scotland had its stewards, this office has given rise to many lines of this hereditary surname.
