Hoyt is a unique, unisex given name of American origin. It gained prominence in the mid-20th century and is often associated with Southern states, particularly Alabama, where it was popularized by writer Walker Percy's character Dr. Thomas More Hoyt in his novel 'The Last Gentleman'. The name Hoyt has a distinct, memorable sound and offers a refreshing alternative to more common names.
"In 1922 and 1924, there were five births each for the name Hoyt. Altogether, that amounts to ten babies named Hoyt during those two years."
