The settlement name originates from the Old Norse þveit, meaning 'small parcel of land'.
The Norse word commonly produces in England the place name element Thwaite.

The name Twatt is similar to the common English expletive "twat", (an insulting word used to express contempt or derision for another individual, although it can also colloquially refer to a vagina).
Its name featured at number four in a list of the most vulgar-sounding names in Rude Britain, along with its Shetland counterpart.
 There is also an Upper Twatt Road on the island in Stenness.
