BeemerBoy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Scott - From a surname which meant "Scotsman" in Old English. The original meaning of the word Scot is debated, but it may mean "tattoo", so given because Scotsmen often had tattoos. Funny, this is the first time I've ever even tried to look up the meaning of my name. The findings are amusing considering I'm part Irish, and have a grand total of zero tattoos.
