The rugged terrain and rich ancestry of Scotland forms the backdrop to the origins of Mouatt family surname. In Scotland, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules during the late Middle Ages. The Mouatt family lived in Angus, but the origin of the surname can be traced back to Normandy where it is thought to be derived from Mont Hault which means of "high mount."
The surname Mouatt was first found in Angus (Gaelic: Aonghas), part of the Tayside region of northeastern Scotland, and present day Council Area of Angus, formerly known as Forfar or Forfarshire, where they were granted lands by King David I of Scotland.
