What made Czar Nicholas II a weak ruler? I have a couple more questions if you could answer them that would be great. What were some characteristics of Czar Nicholas? Why was Nicholas II overthrown? Was he the cause of the Russian Revolution?
Spratt derives either from the Old English sprit meaning a  slender person or from esprit meaning an elf. Like many Anglo-Saxon names it originated as a nickname before becoming a surname in the modern sense. The earliest records of the name come from the English counties of Dorset, Somerset and Essex.
Spratt is uncommon surname, and like any surname we can be sure where they come form or excatally where and how they start... Some people believe that it comes from our ancestor's back before the Salem times when you would be named after the part of town or the job you did. e.g Blacksmith (shorted to smith) Steel,Coal, Well, Wakefield..
