Mazhar Butt (butto Na Butto!!) says about the surname Bhat @ M. U. Butt If you had read history you would know what a wild and a secluded tribe of Butt was. They were beaten up by the Lone's, who were among the ruling class of Kashmir, Gradually the Butts got civilized and are now what they are. Like all Kashmiris they are good at eating and fighting...with each others. However, they prove to be excellent friends of other ehtnicities. Like other Kashmiris, the Butts were also excluded from military service -disqualified for being inherently disobedient. Kashmiris unfortunately suffer to a great extent from self-conceit and jealousy among themselves....and MU Butt is one of such glaring examples. He ought to read History of Kashmir by Munshi Mohd Din Fauq for enlightenment.

Leela says about the surname Choudhry Yes, but Kashmiir spelling is usually with an "o" instead of the "a" (in Punjab). So this can be a Kashmiri surname, and it can be from other part of the subcontinent as well.

Kashmiri says about the surname Bhat Bhat is a Brahmin name. It is found all over India, but is mostly a Saraswat brahmin name, which means that at some point, the male with this surname was originally from Kashmir and then this surname came to be used by his progeny, even though he may have married with other indians. Therefore also found in U.P, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Bengal and Karnataka.
