Tayte Spelling VariationsSound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Tayte family name include Tate, Tait, Tayte and others.

Migration of the Tayte familyFor political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Tayte surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Edward Tate, who came to Massachusetts sometime between 1620 and 1650; Thomas Tate, who arrived in Virginia in 1635; James Tate, who came to Barbados in 1635.
