Name Meaning
Danish and Swedish: topographic name from busk(e) ‘bush’, or a habitational name from a place in Denmark named Busk.
English (Middlesex and Surrey): topographic name from Old Norse buskr ‘bush’, perhaps for someone who lived by a conspicuous plant; see also Bush . The Scandinavian word also appears as a placename Busk (Cumberland, Lancashire, North Yorkshire), and is likely to be responsible for some of the surnames.
