Best Answer

The country of origin is England. The first bearers of the name Butts were teachers of Archery and owned the fields where this was taught to the king's knights. The fields where they practiced were called butts. These people who bore this name were nobility and were knighted by the king and given land for their help in the training of the knights because thet were highly skilled in it. Anyone who owned land in those days were part of nobility as the serfs could never be landowners.
