It seems odd to me that this page starts with a discussion of a homonym that may or may not relate to the surname itself. Is there anything tying 'prat' to 'Pratt', other than the fact they sound the same?

Some etymology could be of interest--
English: nickname for a clever trickster, from Old English prætt ‘trick’, ‘tricky’, ‘cunning’ (which is found in use as a byname in the 11th century). This surname is quite common in southeastern Ireland. [1]In Old English, æ denotes a sound intermediate between a and e ([æ]), a sound very much like the short a of cat in many dialects of modern English. [2]
