Twitt Family History

Of uncertain origin, possibly related to Middle English twiteren ‘to chirp or warble’ (like a bird). Compare the bird name twite, but this is not on record before 1562 in OED and appears to be restricted to N England.

Where it is another name for the mountain linnet. In Ireland, occasionally a variant of Tuite. However, evidence that the Norman family of this name held lands in the W Midlands and SW England has not been found.
