A name that means "good news, glad tidings".

Bushra (بشرى) is the Arabic word for "good news" or "glad tidings" — from the same root as the verb "to gladden."

Bushra is widely used across the Arab world. Bushra Karaman (1935-2017) was the Egyptian actress.

Good news. The Arabic glad tidings.

Where Bushra stands.

Bushra 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.
