The surname Butt, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back centuries. The name originated from the Gaelic word O'Beathain, meaning descendant of Beathan, which itself means life or vitality. The original clan associated with the name Butt was located in County Donegal in Ulster, a province in Ireland.
During the times of the Gaelic clans, surnames were not fixed and often changed based on various factors. However, Butt became a more permanent family name during the Anglicization of Irish surnames in the 16th and 17th centuries. This period saw many Irish families adopt English surnames to conform to English rule.
The Butt surname, with its variation of spellings like Butte, Bute, or Buteau, became more prevalent as families sought to assimilate into English society. Some members of the Butt clan migrated to England and other parts of the British Isles, where the name further evolved and spread.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many Irish families faced economic difficulties and sought better opportunities abroad. As a result, Butt families emigrated to various countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The surname Butt has since become widely dispersed across these nations.
Today, individuals with the surname Butt, of Irish descent, can be found around the world, with diverse backgrounds and histories that reflect the diaspora of Irish families seeking new beginnings throughout the ages.
