  Notes from: http://genforum.genealogy.com/butler/messages/10659.html
  Pincerna is the Latin word for butler. Richard was either given or chose the name Thomas when he was made the Kings Cupbearer. Each of the heirs to the Pincerna title had a different first name. This is not unlike the Roman Catholic Pope. The middle English word for the person that makes the goatskin wine flasks was boteler. Many of the English ancestors used that spelling for the name Butler.
