Kingett Vad efternamn betyder
from an unrecorded Middle English personal name Kingot or Kinget probably a pet form of the personal name King. Compare the double diminutive William Kyngelot 1328 in Archaeologia Cantiana 3 The surname appears to have developed alternative pronunciations in which /ng/ and /ŋg/ were assibilated to /nʤ/ or /ŋʤ/ in spellings like Kingjett and perhaps Kinggett and Kingeet to /nʧ/ in Kinchet(t) and to /ŋʃ/ in Kinshet Kingshot and Kingsholt leading to /ns/ in Kinsett and to /nz/ in Kinzet. In Kinget(t) the -g- could represent either /g/ or /ʤ/.The assibilation mentioned in (i) is not a regular sound change and may have arisen by confusion of Kingett with Kinzett as a variant of Kensett. Some of the sequences of early bearers below could therefore belong with Kensett including examples of Kingett Kinchet Kinshet and so on although the medieval evidence points more strongly to the explanation in (i).
