Total concurrence with Mr. Foglai.
There is also the rare appropriation of this name by Gaels (Manx mostly) who have the word 'buidh' (meaning 'yellow,' pronounced 'bwee') in their surname.

One of my name books says that it is from Scotch Gaelic, meaning "blond" ...but could also be a place name, for the Scottish Isle of Bute ...not sure where Bute comes from ...
