Stewart Name Meaning
Scottish: originally an occupational name for an administrative
official of an estate, from Middle English stiward, Old English
stigweard, stiweard, a compound of stig
‘house(hold)’ + weard ‘guardian’. In Old English times this
title was used of an officer controlling the domestic affairs of a
household, especially of the royal household; after the Conquest it
was also used more widely as the native equivalent of Seneschal
for the steward of a manor or manager of an estate.
