PARROTT

PARROTT. May have been originally applied to a talkative person. So the classical Psittacus, from VirraKi. There is however equal probability of its liaving been derived from the river Parret, or from Pierrot, a French diminutive of Pierre, Peter. The surname has been varied to Parratt, Parrett, and Parritt.
