Poteet Family History
Poteet Name Meaning
Said to be of French origin, this name is associated in the early
18th century with MD and subsequently with NC and SC. If it is
French, it is probably a Huguenot name. It may be an altered form of
French Petit, or possibly of French Pottet, which is
from a diminutive of pot ‘pot’, in any of several senses: a
metonymic occupational name for a potter, a nickname for a market
trader, or a nickname for a rotund individual. pwh, MTM. Web.
