Northcutt is a surname originating as a toponymic surname in England. It may be traced as far back to Devon in the year 1103 at Northcote manor,[1] and may be translated in Old English as norð ‘north’ + cot ‘cottage’, ‘shelter’.[2]

A new manor was built beside the ruins of the original Northcote manor, which still exists today in North Devonshire,[3] and the first officially recorded resident of the "north cottage" in Devonshire was one Nicholas de Northicote in the year 1199.[4]
