What is the meaning of the name Stuart ?

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

Stuart is English, French, Old English, Scottish in Origin.

Stuart is the French-influenced spelling of Scottish Stewart, a surname later used as a masculine given name in English. Its root is Old English stigweard or stīweard, the earliest recorded compound behind Middle English stiward. The first element stig or stī refers to a house or household, while weard denotes a guard, keeper, or warden; the literal sense is household guardian, later narrowed to the estate officer called a steward.

The Stuart spelling gained dynastic weight through Mary, Queen of Scots, who used the French form, and through the royal House of Stuart, rulers of Scotland and later England, Ireland, and Great Britain. As a forename it was especially associated with Scotland and Britain in the nineteenth century, often honoring the monarchy. Stewart remains the chief variant, with Steuart as a rarer spelling; Stu is a familiar short form. In recent American use, Stuart has declined from its mid-twentieth-century levels.
