The name Cutte was spawned by the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture that ruled a majority of Britain.

Migration of the Cutte familyIn an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies.

Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Cuttes to arrive on North American shores: Richard Cutt who settled in Portsmouth New Hampshire in 1630; Roger Cutts settled in Virginia in 1635.
