Forms: 1900s– Kittitian, 1900s– Kittician.
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name St Kitts , -ian suffix.
Etymology: < Kitt- (in St Kitts, the name of an island in the Lesser Antilles (Leeward Islands)) + -ian suffix, with insertion of -it-, probably after Haitian adj.The place name St Kitts (attested from the first half of the 17th cent., also as Saint Kitts ) apparently originated as an informal name for Saint Christopher Island , Saint Christopher's Island , after the male forename Kit , pet form of Christopher (see Kit n.5 and compare Christopher n.). As a name of the island, Saint Christopher is attested in English contexts from the second half of the 16th cent. (also as Saint Christophers and Saint Christophers Island ), after the Spanish name San Cristóbal (early 16th cent. as Sant Cristoual ). Variant forms. In the form Kittician perhaps also influenced by -ician suffix.
