About Wat
English in origin, Wat carries the formidable meaning of “commander of the army” or “army ruler.” Short and assertive, it has a distinguished history as a nickname for Walter, a German name of Ancient Germanic roots.
The name's etymology can be traced to the elements “waldaʐ” (ruler, power, mighty one) and “harjaz” (army, army leader, commander, warrior). The German form Waltheri emerged from these elements, referring to a Lombard king who reigned as an infant.
In medieval times, Wat became a short form of Walter, a name that has adorned countless legendary figures throughout history.
