Early Origins of the Whitte family

The surname Whitte was first found in Gloucestershire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1176 Roger Wicht when they held lands.
