Surnames: GYTE
Was just browsing and found the Gytes, my husband is related to the Edale Gytes although by the time he was born they had moved into the Settle area via Barrow-in-Furness. I have not verified much of the information I have been given but am willing to share waht I have. As far as I know te Gyte name in the Settle area has gone. Best wishes.

Surnames: GYTE GUITE
Your post just popped up and looking at the past posts I see that the trread has been pretty well dormant for some time. My interest in the GYTEs comes from the fact that the name sounds like GUITE which is my mother's family name. It has been suggested that the GUITES of Sheffield came there as GYTEs from Edale or Chelmorton area. I've not been able to prove this either way so am blocked with a GUITE family in the Wadsley area who appear around 1800, apparently out of the blue! In looking around for clues I have accumulated a lot of info on various GYTE families so if you have any questions, you never know I might have the family!
regards
Peter

Surnames: Gyte/Guite
Hello there. Your mothers name Guite sounds french to me. My husband is a Gyte and I too have been trying to discover where the name originated - Could be Dutch. Be interested if you discover more on the name.

Surnames: Gyte
My maiden name was Gyte. My Dad's family were from England in the Settle area. I have a fair amount of info but it is always mgood to get more. I've never known the name to be associated with Dutch and it definitely isn't French. At one time we thought maybe Welsh. There are still Gyte relatives living in the Settle area. I've also been in contact with the Australian Gyte's who are related. We met an Arthur Gyte back in the 1980's living on a boat in Victoria, BC but haven't found the connection there yet.
Where do you reside? My home email is plaquin@telusplanet.net and would love to correspond directly rather than through ancestry.

Surnames: Gyte Guite Guyte Gyite
Hi, The only books that I have found suggest that the surname Guite or Gyte are derived from the norman french christian name Guy. I've not been able to find out much more. There are other versions in the databases as well such as GYITE and GUYTE. I think that it is interesting that in the nineteenth century before people started moving about the GYTEs were in the Peak District of Derbyshire from Buxton down the valley towards matlock but the GUITEs were in the NE of Sheffield and in Ecclesfield. There are also some GUITES around Harrogate. I have never been able to link the two groups. I have still not been able to prove or disprove a French link.
