Help[Surname] WATT?
Does anyone know what the name Watt means? It possibly may have to do with water, or some type of land, and is most likely German. It may/may not have a connection with Watson, which means "son of Walter" and is not Watts. The name was originally Wott, the W pronounced like a V. Any ideas?
