Busbey is English in Origin.

A rare transferred surname, Busbey stems from the English and Scottish place-name Busby, recorded as Buscebi in the Domesday Book. The name combines Old Norse bȳ/býr “farm, settlement” with Old English/Old Norse busc/buskr “bush, thicket,” yielding the sense “settlement by the bushes.” The Busbey spelling is an Americanized variant of Busby, with related forms Busbee and Busbie found in the U.S. South and Midwest.

As a given name, Busbey appears sporadically in 19th- and early 20th-century American records, typically bestowed to honor a family surname and most often for boys, though it is usable as unisex today. It remains very rare and is not present on contemporary popularity charts. Pronounced BUZ-bee, it shares lineage with the more familiar Busby (also seen as the stage name of choreographer Busby Berkeley). Possible nicknames include Buzz, Buz, and Bee.
