Busas
BÙSAS
Etymology
Cf. Latin Buse (LAG 449), Busse (RTAS 91), Buses k. This village name is associated ¹ with Latv. Germanism will be „bušė, buksva“ < mnd. busse ². However, this connection is doubtful, since the name of the village is probably of personal origin. Surname lit. Bùs, Latv. Buse, Busse are borrowings, possibly from German. Buß, Busse ³.
