What Does the Name Feltus Mean?
Feltus is a rare name whose meaning is not securely established. It is used far more often as a surname than as a given name. The form resembles a few European surnames - the English Felts and the German Feltes and Feltz - but no confirmed derivation links Feltus to any of them, and a similar spelling alone does not prove a common origin.
Feltus Name History & Origins
Feltus is uncommon both as a family name and as a first name. It appears in English-speaking countries, chiefly the United States, as a surname, and it is occasionally given as a first name, most likely taken directly from the surname rather than from an older personal name. No early medieval or classical form of the name has been documented, and there is no recorded line of descent from an earlier language that would explain how the spelling developed.
Some surnames ending in -us took that ending when a name was carried into English from a language that used it, or when a family or a clerk altered an existing spelling. For Feltus the particular path is not documented, and no traditional, religious, or literary use is attached to the name.
