Origin Displayed: Scottish

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

The Origins old family name of Stewardson 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 Stewardson 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 Stewardson was an occupational name for a steward, the official in charge of a noble household and its treasury. One common alternate spelling of the name is a result of the influence of Mary, Queen of Scots, who was educated in France, and consequently spelled the name Steuart or Stuart.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Stuart, Steuart, Stuard, Sturt and others.

First found in Oswestry, Shropshire, where they had been granted lands by William the Conqueror, their liege Lord.
