Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Botheleheye family name include Botly, Botley, Botele, Bottelegh, Botheleheye, Botlee and many more.
