Definition

A proper noun used as a first name or family name. It refers to a person, and in some contexts it can also refer to the historical House of Stuart.

Usage & Nuances

Because it is a proper noun, it is normally capitalized: 'Stuart'. It usually does not have a general meaning like common nouns do, so the context tells you whether it is a person's first name, surname, or a historical reference.
