From the Swiss; a person from Switzerland
Swayze is an English surname of Germanic origin, likely derived from the Middle English word 'Swais', referring to a person from Switzerland. It gained recognition as a given name in the United States primarily as a tribute to the late actor Patrick Swayze. While traditionally a surname, its use as a first name fits the modern trend of using occupational or family names for children.
