Bucer is Germanic in Origin.
Bucer is a rare given name adopted from a surname, most closely associated with the Reformation leader Martin Bucer (1491–1551) of Alsace. As a first name it arose in modern times, typically among Protestant families honoring his ecumenical scholarship, and it has remained very uncommon in both Europe and North America.
Linguistically the surname is Alsatian/German. Contemporary records also show the form Butzer, while scholars of the period Latinized it as Bucerus. Its precise meaning is uncertain: proposals link it to Middle High German butz or butzen (sprite; small bundle, bud) used as a nickname, or to Alemannic Bützer (workman, journeyman). Variants and related forms include Butzer (German), Bucerus (Latin), and the short form Butz. As a given name, Bucer has no traditional diminutives.
Bucer is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. Either way, it's a name very few children share.
