Pettit Genealogy & History
Pettit comes from the Old French word petit, which means small. It likely originated as a nickname given to a small person or perhaps to the younger or smaller of two people with the same first name. Pettit family history is first recorded with one Aluric Petit (an alternate spelling), who lived in Hampshire in 1086; early Pettits were also found in Kent, England, and Bourgogne, France. Pettit genealogy in America began with Anne Pettit, who moved to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1630, and includes chemical engineer and astronaut Donald Pettit. The Pettit coat of arms is a red lion on a silver shield.
