From - The Surnames of Scotland - by George F. Black. DOTT - Perhaps a sharpened form of DODD. HENRY DOYT is mentioned in 1343 ( ER, 1. page 531) and WILLIAM DOT appears as a witness in St. Andrews in 1475 ( Soltre, p. 73) DOTT 1492. DOIT 1506. - AElfric DOTT is recorded in DB. as 'nomen viri' (Searle) Hope this is of some help.
