Butković. Attested in Croatia, United States of America, Slovenia, France, Poland, Denmark, borne by about 2,029 people in the registers this map holds.
The spellings of Butković
This is the one list the atlas keeps of which spellings are the same name, and what each rests on. Case, spacing, hyphens and apostrophes are not counted as separate spellings, so De Franceschi and Defranceschi are one form. An accent is: a priest's Lereña is not a clerk's Lerena.

What Wikidata says this name is
Copied from Wikidata, not worked out here. It is crowd-sourced and wrong in places, which is why the item is linked below rather than the claim simply repeated.
- Croatian the language of the name
Which is not where a family is from. A Polish surname can be borne by people whose forebears never saw Poland, and often is.

On the map
- A country that counted the name
- Attested by a register, not counted
Where it is borne, and where a record names it. A dot is a country, not a place. It sits at the country's centre because a national register counts a country; nothing here says where in it these people are. A dashed ring is attested by a register but not counted — Denmark publishes which surnames exist and not how many carry each. Sizing those by a number nobody published would invent it. Blank is not absence. This draws the 6 countries where the eleven registers and eight archives behind this atlas attest the name. Most of the world has no surname register this project can read, and the ones that do and will not are listed with the reason.
Where it came from
No place of this name is in the gazetteer, so this map says nothing about where the name came from. Search a surname anywhere else and you will be told an origin — that it is Latin, or Italian, or means «joyful». That is etymology, it is usually unsourced, and it is a different question from the one answered here.
Country by country
Each country below can carry up to three different kinds of evidence, and none of them is the same claim. A register is a head-count — a state counted these people. A record is one document naming the surname on that ground, narrower evidence and often much older. And a volume overlapping these dates is a document from the right place and years — never a document known to name this surname. None of the three ever means the name exists in that country and nowhere else, or that it exists nowhere but here.
Croatia
1,800 Borne — a state counted them — Names and surnames in the Republic of Croatia, 2011 Population Census (DZS).
Names and surnames in the Republic of Croatia, 2011 Population Census (DZS) answers questions rather than publishing a list. This name was asked about because the atlas already holds it elsewhere — a name absent here may simply never have been asked about, not absent from Croatia.

When it was being born, in France
INSEE counts births by surname and decade from the état civil, 1891 to 2000 — the only dated evidence in this dataset. A name that starts at zero and climbs arrived; a name that falls to nothing left, died out, or emigrated, and the decade it stops is the decade to stop searching. It counts births registered in France, so a family that emigrated in 1900 simply stops appearing, which is information rather than a defect. This name's first French births fall in 1921–1930 and its last in 1991–2000.

Whose archive held that ground, and when
Every surname site can tell you a name is common somewhere. This one also knows which filing system held that ground in which years — and those are the two halves of one question: my people were called this, they were there, so who has the paper, and for which century. A name in Croatia before 1881 may sit in a military series and not a county one; a name in the Netherlands before 1811 has no civil record at all, only a baptism.
This is about the ground, not about your family. A register counting a name in a country says nothing about which village. And these are the pieces of a country this atlas has drawn, which in a large one may be a corner of it — Acadia reaches into Maine and is not a statement about the United States, and Bohemia's ground crosses into Poland. Each region's own page says which ground it covers. Where a country is missing below, nothing covers it yet.
