Bissett is a surname that can be attributed to two or three origins. At the moment, it's somewhat more commonly Irish, descending from the Bissett family, who arrived in what is now County Antrim in Ulster in the mid-thirteenth century from Scotland.[citation needed] Many of the family remained in Scotland, but their descendants more commonly spelled their surname Bisset without doubling the final -t-, although this may have become much more common in the last two centuries. In any case, all share a common origin, and a considerable degree of movement between Ulster and Scotland has been witnessed throughout recorded history. A lineage might belong to one, then the other, and back again. A third possible origin for the surname in North America is as an "anglicization" of the French or French Canadian surname Bessette.
