Twatt is a Scottish village a few miles north of Stromness in Orkney.
Its name is Old Norse, brought to those northern isles by the Vikings.
The root is thveite and Old English had either a cognate or, more likely, a derivative thwite, later thwaite
which meant a piece of ground cleared of trees and ready to be pasture
or a farmer’s field. A thwaite might also be cleared land upon which to
build a house.
