What is the meaning of the name Stewart ?

The baby name Stewart is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced STOO-ərt.

Stewart is Old English, Scots in Origin.

Stewart is an English and Scots occupational name from Old English stīweard or stigweard, the early form behind Middle English steward. The compound joins stig, a hall or household, with weard, a guard or keeper; its literal sense is household guardian, later the officer managing a noble or royal household. The spelling Stewart reflects Scots and northern English development, while Gaelic Stiùbhart is an adaptation rather than the source.

As a family name, Stewart became prominent in Scotland through Walter fitz Alan, appointed High Steward in the twelfth century; his descendants formed the royal House of Stewart. Mary, Queen of Scots, used Stuart in France, a spelling later associated with the royal dynasty. As a given name it belongs chiefly to the English-speaking surname-as-first-name tradition, with nineteenth-century use and a mid-twentieth-century American peak before declining after the 1990s. Variants include Stuart, Steward, Steuart, and Stewert.
