What Does the Name Buse Mean?
Buse is a Turkish feminine given name meaning "kiss." It is identical to the Turkish noun buse, a borrowing from Persian būse (بوسه), which means "kiss." The Persian word is a standard noun and appears in classical poetry; Turkish took it into literary usage with the same sense. The name's meaning is literal, not a later symbolic interpretation: it is the word for a kiss used as a personal name.
Buse Name History & Origins
The noun buse entered Turkish from Persian and became part of the elevated, literary vocabulary of Ottoman Turkish. Ottoman poets used it in love poetry, where it retained the literal sense of a kiss. The feminine given name Buse is a use of that noun, not a variant of another personal name. It is current in Turkey as a girl's name and is generally understood because the noun remains in Turkish vocabulary.
