The word "Nott" does not have a widely known etymology as it is not a commonly used term. However, there are a few possibilities for its origin:
1. Personal Name: "Nott" could be a variant of the personal name "Knott" or "Cnotta", which was a common surname in medieval England. The name is derived from the Old English word "cnotta", meaning "knot" or "knotty".
2. Norse/Viking Influence: Another possibility is that "Nott" has Scandinavian origins. In Old Norse, "Nótt" means "night". The Vikings had significant influence on English language and culture, so it's possible that "Nott" originated from this Norse word.
3. Place Name: Sometimes surnames are derived from place names. "Nott" might have originated from a location or topographical feature with a similar name.
