"Nutting Meaning and Origin
English: patronymic from Nutt. This is a famous English surname, believed to be from Yorkshire, which is certainly where the first recording comes from. The style and spelling suggests that it may have an Olde English or Danish-Viking pre 7th century origin, and derive from the word "knut", which literally means a hard fruit. To this has been added the term "inga", normally used to indicated a people or tribe. "Knut" was used for many centuries as a baptismal or given name before the introduction of hereditary surnames, and can be found in a such a name as the famous "King Canute"."
