Mammatt Family History

Mammatt Surname Meaning

Perhaps from Middle English maumet mamet ‘idol doll puppet’ also ‘pixie’ (Old French mahomet). Perhaps from an unrecorded Old French personal name *Mamot or *Mamet, pet forms of Old French Mame, the name of a French saint.

The possibility is strengthened by the existence of the double diminutive pet forms Maminot and Maminet as the surname of a Norman family with lands in Kent and Lincs: Gilbert Maminot 1086 in Domesday Book (Kent); Emma Maminet 1130 in Pipe Rolls (Kent); Wauchelin Maminot 1157 in Templars Records (Lincs).

However, although Maminot may have alternated with *Mamot, the Maminot family appears to have died out in the male line in about 1190.

Variant of Memmott. The post-medieval bearers under (1) may alternatively belong here.

Compare Mary Mamotte 1727, Ann Memmott 1782, Hannah Mommott 1791 in IGI (Sheffield WR Yorks); Elizabeth Mommot 1775, William Memmott 1814 in IGI (Aston WR Yorks).
