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.-- Nanaea
