Oswaldt: Last Name Origin and Family Crest

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Oswaldt, so the heraldry linked to Oswald is a starting point, not an automatic right.

What Oswaldt means

Oswaldt belongs to the Oswald family of names, which has English roots. Surname dictionaries give the meaning as “Descendant of Oswald (divine power)”.

Before spelling was fixed, Oswald was also written Oswaldt. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms. Other spellings include Osswald, Oschwald and Osvald.
