The name Hoyte is of Dutch origin and means "noble" or "high." It is derived from the Old Dutch word "hoghe," which means high or noble. The name was likely used to indicate a person of high social status or rank.
Hoyte was first recorded as a given name in the 13th century, when it appeared in Dutch records. Since then, it has been used predominantly in the Netherlands and Belgium, although it can also be found in other parts of Europe and beyond.
Today, Hoyte is still a relatively uncommon name, but it continues to be used by families who wish to honor their Dutch heritage or simply appreciate its unique sound and meaning. It is often spelled alternately as Hoete or Heyte, depending on regional variations in pronunciation and orthography.
The name Hoyte appears to have experienced several peaks and valleys in popularity during the years from 1915 to 1961, with a total of 262 births recorded over this period. The name reached its zenith twice - first in 1935 with 14 births, and again in 1946 with 13 births. However, the popularity of the name Hoyte seems to have declined significantly after the late 1940s, as evidenced by the low birth figures from 1949 onwards, with only five births recorded in each of the years 1949, 1954, and 1961.
