Bua means the lotus — the flower that rises clean from the water. It carries purity and serene beauty.
Bua does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Bua reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
