ScarletScarlet was a type of woollen cloth common in mediaeval England. The name refers to the actual cloth, not the colour. It is probable that name of the character Will Scarlett in the Robin Hood legends referred to this type of cloth, similarly to the common occupational surnames (eg Weaver, Cooper, Fletcher &c).
