Etymology
, the Byatts 1848TA . This resembles the name of the brine - spring of Nantwich , the old Biat , which was the object of a traditional well - dressing ritual , doubtless in honour of the source of the town 's prosperity , v. 338 . The name Biat would appear to be ME biʒeate ' profit, acquisition ' ( NED ) , cf. OE begietan ' to beget,to acquire ' , and The Byatts could well refer to land which was very profitable or a notable acquisition to an estate . But the historical background is not known , and the surname Byatt ( Reaney ) might enter into this p.n .
