Note: The name of De Witt or Dewitt is of Dutch origin and means "white." It is found on the ancient European and early American records in the various forms of De Wytte, De Wit, De Witte, DeWitte, De Wette, De Wet, DeWitt, and Dewitt, of which the last two are the most generally accepted forms of the name today in America. In most documents about Holland it is spelled de Witt.

It is said that the DeWitt family was living at Grootholdt, in Zunderlandt (Westphalia), at an extremely early date and was prominent in the official, social and civil life of Holland.

In the Royal Library at The Hague, the "Geschlacten von Dordricht" gives the descent of the DeWitt family form the years 1295 to 1639.
