Kitt is English in Origin.

Kitt is an English variant of Kit, a compact, unisex short form of two longer names: Christopher and Katherine. From Greek Christophoros (christos “anointed, Christ” + pherein “to bear”), it carries the sense “bearer of Christ”; when derived from Katherine, often linked to Greek katharos, it conveys “pure.” Records from late medieval and early modern England show Kit/Kitt as a familiar byname and occasional given name, and it also developed as a hereditary surname (cf. Kitt, Kitts, Kitson). Modern revivals keep it crisp and contemporary.

Variants and related forms include Kit (most common), Kitts, Kitty/Kittie (feminine), and the longer sources Christopher/Christoffer, Kristopher, Katherine/Katharine/Kathryn. In Dutch and Scandinavian contexts, Kitt or Kit appears as a pet form of Krist- or Katr- names. The spare spelling and gentle consonants make Kitt a nimble, gender-flexible choice with deep Christian and classical roots.
