Bhushan

Bhushan is a masculine given name and, less commonly, a surname used in the Indian subcontinent. The name comes from the Sanskrit bhūṣaṇa, meaning ornament or adornment, and it carries connotations of beauty, grace, and honor. In cultural usage, Bhushan is a widely found name among Hindu communities in India and Nepal, particularly within Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, and Bengali-speaking populations, and among diaspora communities abroad. As a given name, Bhushan is typically used on its own or as part of compound names, whereas as a surname it occurs less frequently and may reflect ancestral occupation, lineage, or regional origin.

In contemporary contexts, the name Bhushan appears in literature and public life and is borne by individuals across diverse fields such as academia, business, arts, and government. The term also appears in various compound personal names in South Asia. The neutral meaning of the name—an ornament or adornment—gives no specific religious or regional binding, contributing to its cross-community usage.
