Bush Origin and Meaning

The name Bush is a boy's name.

Bush is an uncommon masculine given name derived from an English surname. The surname originally referred to someone who lived near a bush or thicket, coming from the Old English word 'busc.' As a first name, Bush is exceedingly rare, known primarily for its association with the political family that produced two U.S. presidents. The name has strong nature connotations, evoking imagery of vegetation and wild landscapes. While some might choose it to honor the political family, others might select it for its simple, strong sound and natural associations. Its brevity gives it a distinct, memorable quality, though its primary recognition remains as a surname rather than a given name.
