Bash is Arabic, English, Turkish in Origin.

Bash is a modern, punchy given name most often used as a nickname. In English it commonly shortens Sebastian or Sébastien (from Greek Sebastos, “venerable”), while in Arabic-speaking families it abbreviates Bashir and Bashar/Bashshar, names from the b‑sh‑r root meaning “to bring good news.” Some also notice its overlap with Kurdish baş, “good,” though Bash itself isn’t a traditional Kurdish form.

As a standalone, Bash gained notice in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, boosted by pop culture (the character “Bash” on Reign) and the trend for brisk, one‑syllable names. Usage remains uncommon but rising in the US and UK. Related variants and diminutives include Bas, Baz, Seb, Basti, and the fuller Arabic forms Bashir and Bashar; feminine counterparts appear as Basia or Basha in Slavic contexts. Depending on the source name chosen, Bash carries senses ranging from “venerable” to “bringer of good news.”
