moyet

Moyet is a surname of French origin. It is found in France and among communities with French heritage. The name is most widely recognized in popular culture through Alison Moyet (born 1961), a British singer and musician who rose to fame in the early 1980s as a member of the synth-pop duo Yazoo and later pursued a solo career.

Moyet as a surname may also be borne by other individuals in various fields, including academia, sports, and the arts, though none have achieved the same level of international recognition. The distribution of the name is relatively small outside of Francophone and Anglophone regions, and it is considered uncommon in many countries. The surname is sometimes encountered in genealogical and biographical contexts, where it is typically noted for its French linguistic roots.
