About the name Wyatt
Wyatt comes from an English surname derived from the medieval given name Wyot, itself from the Old English Wigheard, composed of wig, meaning war, and heard, meaning brave or hardy. The Tudor poet Sir Thomas Wyatt helped introduce the sonnet into English literature. As a first name it is strongly identified with the American West through Wyatt Earp, the lawman who took part in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. The name was also borne by the character Wyatt in the film Easy Rider, played by Peter Fonda.
