The surname Holte, also spelled Holt, is thought to have originated in the British Isles, but its usage spans across Europe. In the context of Irish heritage, the Holt name is considered an Anglicised version of the original Gaelic O'hUllachain, which roughly translates to "descendant of the proud one".
The first recorded spelling of the family name 'Holt', in its original form, dates back to the 13th century England, when one Simon del Holt was listed in the Assize Court Rolls of Lancashire in 1246. However, the name migrated to Ireland with the Anglo-Norman invasion in the late 12th century.
It was especially prevalent in County Tyrone, and over time, members of the Holt family moved across the country and beyond, resulting in a global diaspora. The surname has since evolved into various forms based on regional dialects and phonetic shifts. Today, people of Irish descent bearing the surname Holt or Holte can be found across the world, carrying with them a proud Irish ancestry.
