Buoso

Inherited from Frankish ᛒᛟᛋᛟ (Bōso), from Proto-West Germanic *Bōsō, from Proto-Germanic *Bōsô. Further etymology not completely certain, but likely related to Proto-West Germanic *bannan (“to proclaim”), Ancient Greek φᾰ́ος (phắos, “light”) and Sanskrit भास् (bhā́s, “light”), all from the root of Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (“to shine, to appear”), meaning that this name might have meant 'bright' or 'glimmering'. The name also appears in other Germanic languages, including Old High German Buoso and earlier ᛒᛟᛋᛟ (Boso), Old English Bōsa and Old Norse Bósi.
