The spelling of the word "surratt" is unusual and may be confusing to some. It is pronounced /səˈræt/ (suh-rat) and corresponds to a surname of French origin. The double "r" and "t" at the end can trip up readers who are used to more common English spellings. The stress is on the second syllable, and the vowel sound in the first syllable is a short "uh" sound. Despite its peculiar spelling, the name Surratt has persisted as a recognizable and unique surname.
