Bushrod

Parents who have been traversing through forests and glades in search of the perfect name will love Bushrod. This masculine name is rooted in Old English, where it began as a last name. Sources say that Bushrod is a habitational name that comes from a ‘lost’ village that was likely located in today’s Dorset, England. The name itself comes from the elements bysc, meaning “bushy thicket,” and rod, meaning “clearing in a forest.” This nature-inspired name evokes images of overgrown brambles, green moss, and magical forests. Little Bushrod is sure to feel a deep sense of connection to the world around them, and know that, together, you will always be able to find a path through the trees.
