  Swift Family Coat of Arms This most interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and originated as a nickname for someone who was a swift, fast runner, from the Olde English pre 7th Century word "swift", fleet. It is a rather unique name as it has retained its original spelling for over one thousand years.
