What does Büşra mean?
Glad tidings; welcome good news
In Turkish: sevindirici haber, beklenen güzel müjde
Büşra describes news through the joy it brings, rather than simply its novelty. The word bušrā appears in the Quran with the sense of glad tidings. Turkish Müjde is close in meaning, while Beşir is a related personal name formed from the same Arabic root.
The ending “-ra” is a shared final sound rather than a meaningful suffix in Zehra, Azra and Esra. Their meanings come from the whole name, not the final two letters. More girl names ending in -ra →
