Huett History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsThe Huett surname arose in France, Switzerland and southern Belgium as a patronymic name; a surname based upon the given name of the father of the original bearer. As a personal name, it came from the old Germanic personal name "Hugo," itself derived from the Old High German word "hugu," meaning "contemplative spirit." Like many other Germanic given names, "Hugo" was introduced to France by the Franks, a German tribe who established kingdoms in what are now northern France and southern Belgium following the collapse of the Roman Empire in the fifth century A.D. The popularity of this name was in part due to "St. Hugh of Cluny," a twelfth century monk.

The British first settled the British West Indies around 1604. They made many attempts but failed in some to establish settlements on the Islands including Saint Lucia and Grenada. By 1627 they had managed to establish settlements on St. Kitts (St. Christopher) and Barbados, but by 1641 the Spanish had moved in and destroyed some of these including those at Providence Island. The British continued to expand the settlements including setting the First Federation in the British West Indies by 1674; some of the islands include Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Island, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and Belize then known as British Honduras. By the 1960's many of the islands became independent after the West Indies Federation which existed from 1958 to 1962 failed due to internal political conflicts. After this a number of Eastern Caribbean islands formed a free association. 3 Huett Settlers in West Indies in the 17th Century
