Buttermore Name Meaning
Origin uncertain. It may be an altered spelling of the Irish
surname Buttimer, which MacLysaght describes as a well-known
County Cork name since the 16th century, from an earlier English form
Botymer. Alternatively, it may be an English habitational name
from either of two places, in Cumbria and Wiltshire, named Buttermere,
from Old English butere ‘butter’ + mere ‘lake’. The
surname, however, is absent from current English records, and of the
six bearers recorded in the 1881 British census, one was born in
Ireland and two in the Netherlands. adm.
