ArchivesRe: Confirmation on the meanings of these two English surnames
in reply to a message by A
Hanks & Hodges confirm what you thought was the meaning of "Hyatt".
As for "Huxley"... Rather than meaning "from Hugh's meadow", the name probably means "from Hucc's meadow". "Hucc" being an Old English personal name.
P.H. Reaney didn't seem to shed much more light on the meaning of the name, either.
