Badhur is in Origin.

Badhur is a modern transliteration of Bahadur, a masculine name and honorific from Persian and South Asian usage, ultimately traced to Mongolic baghatur “hero.” It entered Persian as bahādur and spread through Urdu, Hindi, and Nepali (बहादुर), where it means “brave, valiant, warrior.” Common spellings include Bahadur, Bahador, and Badur; cognates across Eurasia include Turkic Batur/Batyr and Mongolian Bator, with Russian bogatyr as a related folk-epic form.

Through the Indo-Persian courts the term served as a title appended to rulers and nobles - most famously the Mughal emperors Bahadur Shah I and II - and, in the colonial era, in distinctions such as Rai Bahadur and Khan Bahadur. As a given or middle name it remains popular in Nepal and North India (e.g., Ram Bahadur). Badhur therefore carries a straightforward, heroic sense: brave, strong, and steadfast.
