Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Attarburay family name include Atterbury, Aterbury, Attebure, Atteburwe, AtterBerry, Aterberry, Attarbury, Attbury and many more.

Early immigrants bearing the Attarburay surname or a spelling variation of the name include: William Atterbury, who sailed to Maryland in 1733; Henry Atterbury, who arrived in Maryland in 1742; and Lewis Atterbury, who was on record in Philadelphia in 1801..
