Our local TV news reporter is a Jaquith. I initially considered it of French origin but the surname of Abraham Jaquith and his descendants may have an English origin, rather than a French Huguenot one. American Jaquiths can trace their origins to Abraham Jaquith, who died in Suffolk County, MA in 1675 or 1676.

Haven’t heard that term of measurement in a dog’s age.
