Name meaning and origin
Bushra derives from the root b-sh-r in Arabic and means good news, glad tidings. This root is also the source of the words basharat and mujda, which is why the name Bushra carries the meaning of one who brings good news and brings joy.
The word appears in the Quran in the story of Yusuf, when the child found in the well was joyfully greeted with "bushra" (oh, good news!) (Yusuf, 12:19). Used as an independent girl name in Azerbaijan, Bushra is among the names with clear religious content that parents choose with the wish of happiness for their children.
