Besho is a modern familiar form used among Egyptian and diaspora Copts, most often as a pet name for Beshoy or Bishoy, the Coptic male name venerating the fourth-century monk Saint Pishoy of Wadi El Natrun. Through this tradition, Besho carries associations of faith, humility, and steadfastness within Coptic Christianity. The exact lexical meaning of Beshoy in Coptic is uncertain, but the name is well rooted in Egyptian Christian history and liturgy.

In broader Middle Eastern usage, Besho works as a colloquial short form of Bashir or Beshir, and of Bishr, from the Arabic root b-sh-r "to bring good news; cheerfulness"; thus the name can suggest "bringer of glad tidings" or "cheerful." Variants and related forms include Beshoy, Bishoy, Bishoi, Bisho, Beşo, Bešo, Bashir, Beshir, and Bishr. Usage is primarily masculine, though occasionally unisex in diaspora communities. As a legal given name it remains rare, more commonly a warm nickname.
