War strength or from the wide island
Wyeth is an English surname-turned-given-name with two primary roots. It may derive from the Old English name Wigheard, meaning 'war strength,' or from a locational surname referring to a 'wide island' or 'wide peninsula.' It is most famously associated with the American family of realist painters.
