Släkthistoria för Brushett
Brushett Vad efternamn betyder
apparently from Middle English brushet ‘thicket scrub’ (Anglo-Norman French brusset Old French brocete) for someone who lived by a thicket. However for lack of medieval surname evidence and in view of the Sussex bearers of the name Brychet(t) it may be a variant of Burchett with -r-metathesis. Compare Robert Burchett 1593 in IGI (Rye Sussex) with Brychett in 1523 below but it is unclear if this name migrated west into Dorset with a further alteration to Brushett.
