The name Fitz, in its fuller context, stems from an old Anglo-Norman term denoting lineage and descendants. It symbolizes in a broader sense "son of." Often, the name Fitz is compounded with another root to indicate someone's male descendant - historically, this referred to a significant family patriarch or leader.
The name Fitz finds its origins in the cultural rich tapestry of Medieval Europe. Specifically, it comes from the Old Anglo-Norman word "fils," used in patronymics to denote "son of" some significant figure. The name gained broader usage in the British Isles, becoming customary to be used in tandem with another name, forming surnames such as FitzGerald, FitzRoy, or FitzHugh.
While traditionally used in surnames, Fitz's standalone name has a charm that has caught the attention of modern name-choosers. Its use can be seen in fictional realms with the charismatic character Fitzwilliam Darcy in Jane Austen's beloved novel 'Pride and Prejudice,' and FitzChivalry in Robin Hobb's 'Farseer Trilogy.' Pop Culture has picked up Fitz as well, like TV character Fitzgerald Grant in the popular series 'Scandal.' The name Fitz suggests an individual with a solid, grounded personality, someone reliable and strong in character.
