While much has been done in the past hundred years to add to our stock of knowledge on the existence of the theatre at Newington Butts, questions relating to names persist: there is no agreement over the origin of the name of the location itself—whence the 'Butts' in Newington Butts—and studies of the theater invariably concede that we have no way of knowing the name of the playhouse itself. Answers to both questions are to be found in the public record: in the case of the origin of 'Butts', I consider a Privy Council document that is readily available in the Acts but that seems to have passed unnoticed to date; regarding the name of the playhouse, I point to where the answer has been hiding in plain sight in lease documents that scholars have been discussing for half a century.

Newington Butts 的两个名字

虽然在过去的一百年里已经做了很多工作来增加我们关于纽因顿巴茨剧院存在的知识储备，但与名称有关的问题仍然存在：对于该地点名称本身的起源并没有达成一致——因此Newington Butts 中的“Butts”——以及对剧院的研究总是承认我们无法知道剧院本身的名字。这两个问题的答案都可以在公共记录中找到：关于“Butts”的起源，我考虑了一份枢密院文件，该文件在法案中很容易找到，但迄今为止似乎没有被注意到；关于剧场的名称，我指出了学者们讨论了半个世纪的租赁文件中隐藏的答案。
