The surname Howlett or Hewlett is of Anglo-Norman origin and carries a rich history, tracing back to medieval times. It first appeared in Ireland following the Norman invasion in 1169. The first record of this name was in County Kilkenny, where the Howletts were granted lands, becoming a part of the upper strata of the society.

The original Old French form of the name was Houel, which evolved into the English forms Howlett and Hewlett. Its Gaelic form is de hÍomhair, morphing further into Ó hÍomhair in later periods. The name has a unique meaning, "little Hugh," with "Hug" meaning heart or spirit and "lett" indicating small or little.

Over time, due to the Penal Laws and other socio-economic pressures, many Irish families, including the Howletts or Hewletts, were forced to anglicize their names and religions. This led to an increased usage of the English version of the name.

In the 19th century, during the Great Famine, many Irish families migrated to America, Canada, and Australia. Today, the name Howlett or Hewlett can be found in many countries, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Irish diaspora.
