ArchivesRe: Aca =oak, Butta and Weorth . Old English/ Norse
in reply to a message by Bobby Darin
ac is the old english term for oak
I have seen the name Aca, pronounced Eh-sa, given as reference to the name Ace, but this is of modern origin.

Butta, likely from but 'goal or end' or butte 'a mound or knoll', both old french

No ideas on Weorth, sorry.
