Does anyone know the origin of the surname Butt as listed against Dame Clar Butt's name?? What is the connection between her nationality and Kasmiri surname and how many other British people have their surnames as Butt's and how did their surname as Butt originate?? Quite a mystery which still has to be researched for roots!

Here is more about her,,,,,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dame_Clara_Butt

Dame Clara Ellen Butt, DBE (1 February 1872 – 23 January 1936), sometimes called Clara Butt-Rumford after her marriage, was an English contralto with a remarkably imposing voice and a surprisingly agile singing technique. Her main career was as a recitalist and concert singer.

There is a book published in Pakistan wherein the author has proven that Butts and Bhatti's are the same. The name of the book is 'Butt se Bhatti''...If someone wants to learn more about his caste he can buy this book from any leading book publisher in Lahore or Karachi.

I am a pure Kasher breed- Butt, Lone's and Tantra's.
My grand father/dadi migrated to Wazirabad from Kashmir, my nana/nani from Jammu.....my father moved from Bomabay to Karachi at the time of Patition. I live in Karachi but have never heard of any Kashmiri writing his name as 'Bhatt''...
I had a customer from India, his name was Arun Bhatt, and he told me he was a Rajput and spoke Marathi and had no concern with Kashmir or Kashmiri's.

According to Munshi Mohd Din Fauq, Butt's of Kashmir were a tribe like any other clan there. They overcame the Lone's who were among the ruling class and ruled Kashmir for some time when they were subdued by the Lone's. According to him and some other sources lower castes of Kashmiri's such as those Daangars etc switched over to call themselves Butt's. Even the Dars began to write Butt's with their names. Even today in Pakistan you will note people addressing Kashmiri of every Kashmiri caste as Butt's which goes to prove some element of 'superiority' does exist with the title BUTT?

I also read somewhere that Kashmiri's of ancient times tranfixed the name of the place they belonged to with their names. I am not sure if there is any place in Kashmir called Butt?? Also, it is said that due to extremely religious-mindeness and saint-worshipping nature of the Kashmiri's many non-Butt's and people of other ethnic races who had settled down in Kashmir adopted the titles such as Khawaja with their names.

I have glimpsed through the ancient history of Kashmir, the famous book called Taringini but was surprised to find NO mention of the caste Butt. However, it was consoling to note that all Kashmiri's were descendants of Princes or Raja's! That give Kashmiri's a valid plus point. Let not people like MU Butt wiggle and wallow with jealousy againt a fellow Kashmiri...

Khwaja F.A.Butt is probably right. Bhatta, a Brahmin surname is often found in Assam. Some have added Acharya to their surnames to become Bhattacharyas. Sad so many Brahmins in Kashmir were forcefully converted!

Bhat.. i don't know thwe meaning, But i love it. it is muslim surname mostly in Kashmir and Pakistan.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE MEANING OF the name ESHAI,in Hebrew
language it means the gift from GOD.How old is this name in
KASHMIR and who were the early ESHAIS.Some say this name was
given by Hazarat Shah Hamdan an Iranian Sufi.Were the early
Eshais jews?

kashmir and the original redidents are more close to the central asia. Till to this date,and despite interacting, marrying out side their own cast, kashmiri are very distinct in their out look and behaviour.kashmiri are found in every part of sub-continent(Pak-Indo)due to the economic reasons and harsh weather conditions, but hardly people or other parts are seen in the Kashmir Valley,this was due to one reason that Kashmiri hardly accept out-sider,they have very strong ethnicity and one can harly find unity among them. this make them week and kashmiri facing with lot of misiries and socio-political-economic problem over the last many many years.
it is very difficult to subjogate any kashmiri blood and butts are very difficult to handle,due to the reason, i found their character more of a Rajput(martial) and not of a Pandit (brahmin). concentration of other Kashmiri clans said to be the descendent of Rajput like; Rahtore, Magray, Rather, Lone, Dar or Dhar; from Mughals are the, Eshai, Banday,Mir (not all mir,as some are using this as a title and acutally are bhutt/butt.)

Kashmiri culture is quite in-different from Pak-Indo and one can easily distinct Kashmiri from the people from other parts of pakistan and india.

also people from other community do not like kashmiri and i do not find any valid logic but it seems more of due to jealousy from their God-gifted abilities, they exebit in every walks of life and distinct beauty,the place and people have got enough chunk from the nature.

About Butt/Bhutt, there are a large people living in different part of U.K (particularly)irish community,with the surname of Bhutt/butt,this is may be due to certain families migrated in 18ins or may be some other reason,if any one can put light on it.
there are many other surnames left in the list uploaded like; Banday,Buch,Eshai, Khand,rafiqi, Rathore,Rather,and Shawl,they are comming to my mind this moment.

word starting from Bhutt, bhut,butt,bhat,bhatti,bhati,bhutto,bhutta, bhatia and so on, represent class of teachers(in hindu religion),those who use to read religious books and teach people were know with these names.

bhutt of kashmir and of other southern part may not have the same lineage. bhutt or butt of kashmir are very fair,handsome.
with the advent of DNA technology, these things can be determin whether bhutt people living in different parts are from one group or not.

DNA test conducted some 12-15 back in Pakistan by some labs in KRL(if i am not forgetting,lab's name) proved that our pakhtoon are the desendents of some tribes migrated from present somalia,first gone to bulgaria and the neighboring areas and then came to the present region (Pakistan and Afghanistan),

there are people that from the same family (pujab) one using Butt and the other using bhatti.

There are families in Gujrat,Gujaranwala,Wazirabad,Sialkot(pakistan),many bhattis claims to be kashmiri. most of them are of fair color and stong structure, not like the ones resided in different other parts of punjab,sind and so on, with dark skin and skinny structure.

I read one book and where-in the author mentioned,both bhutt and bhutti were the sons of Raja Sahlanban,the ancestor of them made the city of GAJ(by raja Gaj)in Afghanistan and in who's name the present name is Ghazni.

bhat's were actually hindu brahmans. . . Its one of the higher casts even in hindus. . . When some kashmiris reverted to muslim religion they still kept their surname as Bhat. . .
