Studd History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsThe Studd surname is generally thought to derive from the Middle English word "stott," meaning a "steer," or "bull." 1 As such it was likely originally an occupational name for a cattleman, or perhaps a nickname. Some instances of the name in Scotland may have come from the Viking name Stoti, which likely arrived with the 9th century Norse colonization of Strathclyde and Aberdeenshire.
