Help[Facts] Re: Meanings of Last names
in reply to a message by sandra Waldrop Doolittle
The surname "Butts" could mean a number of different things:
1. One who oversees and gives commands.
2. Descendant of Bucco.
3. A pet form of names beginning with Burg ("castle"), as Burghard, Burghar, and Burcward.
4. Dweller near the archery butts.
5. A herald or messenger.
6. The most obvious -- and least complimentary -- meaning is "short and stumpy", from the Middle English word "butt", referring to a thick end, stump, or buttock.
