Buttimer Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This may fairly be described as a Co. Cork name for ever since it first appeared in Irish records until the present day it has been found there and rarely elsewhere. I have not been able to ascertain the origin of this name. The exact date of its introduction into Ireland is uncertain but it was at least as far back as the Elizabethan period. In 1601 it appears as Botymer in a Fiant giving a long list of “pardons”
to O'Mahony of Castlemahony Co. Cork and his followers. This Maurice Botymer was son of Robert Botymer. Mr. John T. Collins tells me that Maurice and Robert are still favourite christian names with the Buttimers of today. In Griffith's Valuation (1851-3), in which the name occurs frequently in all parts of Co. Cork, it is spelt in seven different ways including Buttamore and even Buttermore; Buttimer, however, was the most usual.
A well known name in Co. Cork since the sixteenth century. SIF 26
