Hewlitt
he(w)-li-tt
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):German
Meaning:Little Hugh; Mind, thought, spirit
Could you think of a better moniker for your little one than the masculine name Hewlitt? Originally an English last name, Hewlitt is like its close variant, Hewitt, in many ways, as it also carries the English and German moniker, Hugh, within it. Where it differs slightly is in its ending, as -litt is a diminutive suffix. Adding it to Hew creates the definition of "little Hugh," so Hewlitt could be a lovely choice for a tiny tot who'll grow up with a Hugh as their biggest role model. Hugh's definitions of "thought," "mind," and "spirit" are also shared by Hewlitt, setting the scene for the arrival of a kiddo who'll often impress you with their wisdom and intuition.
