From Middle English whete, from Old English hwǣte, from Proto-West Germanic *hwaitī, from Proto-Germanic *hwaitijaz (compare West Frisian weet, Dutch weit, Low German Weten, German Weizen, Danish hvede, Swedish vete, Norwegian Bokmål hvete, Norwegian Nynorsk kveite, Faroese and Icelandic hveiti), from *hwītaz (“white”). More at white.

English surname, probably from the noun wheat. Another sense meaning "bold, active, brave" is derived from Old English hwettan (“to encourage, embolden, sharpen”).
