Little Name Meaning

The name "Little" is typically used as a surname, rather than a given name. As a surname, it originated as a nickname to describe a person of small stature or someone who was the youngest in a family. It is derived from the Middle English word "litel" or "lytel," which translates to "small" or "little" in modern English.

As a surname, the name Little is quite common in English-speaking countries, particularly in Scotland and Northern Ireland. It can also be found in other parts of the world where there were significant English migrations.
