Weyant/Weiant doesn't seem to be a likely alternative of Waite.The earliest Weyants I'm aware of spelled the name something like Weygandt and were from the Rhine area of Germany.
I would like to know the meaning of the name, if anyone knows.Was it a first name that became a patronymic? Seems I've seen something close to Weyant used as a first name.
