Botfield Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

According to Mat. Paris, Geoffrey and Oliver de Bouteville, brothers, came from Poitou to assist King John, and from the former of these the heralds deduce John de l'lnne, otherwise John of th'Ynne of Botefield, near Church-Stretton. From ' the Inn,' the seat of the Botefeldes at that place, was formed the surname of Thynne, (Marquis of Bath.) Others of the same stock retained Boteville or Botfield, and it is a moot point whether the name was imported from France or derived from the locality in Shropshire, to which a Saxon etymology would readily apply. The principal variations are Boteville, Botvile, Bottefeld, and Botfield. The last form is found as far back as 1549. Inf. Beriah Botfield, Esq., M.A., F.S.A., &c.
