(English) 1 a translation of the French Taillebois.

2 a nickname for a Gardener [from Middle English cutten, to cut + busch, a bush] It is prob. only a coincidence, but one of the leading London (Highgate) nursery­men bears this name.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

See Bysh. This word, now applied to a low thick tree, formerly meant a whole wood or grove (sylva, nemus), and this proper sense is retained in America and Australia. Atte-Busche therefore, in medieval writings, is equivalent to De Bosco, while the singular name Cutbush is simply a translation of Tailgebosch, Tallebosc, (Taille-bois) so common in Domesd. There is nothing clearer in the etymology of surnames than that the dissimilar appellations Cutbush and Talboys mean one and the same thing, or that Bush and Boys are identical.
