,Check out "Gen forum" There quite a big section on Cutshaws, an awful lot of cutshaws; originated from America, I think its original and quite sweet, especially as Genforum states that the meaning is, "I quote, " Band of Angels" There we are, Not only sweet but Angelic too!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.ttfnWww@QuestionHome@Com

its not weird, its just not as widely used as so many other names, which makes it nice!. There are some last names which are just soooo overused that they lose their appeal!.
