Ah yes.... I actually meant Gaelic as in derived from Gaul (the original meaning of the word) and therefore French...davyr wrote:I don't think it's of Gaelic origin, Snape - according to a quick bit of genealogical research, most of the UK bearers of the Buteux surname are descendants of 17th century French Huguenots escaping religious persecution.Snape wrote:Thinking about it Bewtex is a much better way of writing how I think of it but I suspect it is of Gaelic and so the 'x' would not be pronounced and hence it will be Bewtoe....
In which case, CP's "Bewtoe" (or Boo Toe) would be about right, if it hasn't been over-Anglicised.
