I've found that the name Hoyt is of English origin and it derives from the word hoit which meant "to leap, to caper" or "to raise, to elevate, to be in high spirits, to throw or leap up or about as in high spirits."

The English surname Hoyt...possibly unrelated to the American given name, comes from a nickname meaning 'long stick' (sort of like beanpole :) )
