Busbie is English in Origin.

The rare given name Busbie is a surname transfer, a variant spelling of Busby rooted in English and Scottish usage. It traces to places called Busby in North Yorkshire and Cleveland, their toponym built from Old Norse elements: the personal name Busi (or Bui) plus by, 'farm, village.' The sense is 'Busi's settlement' or, by extension, 'dweller at Busby.'

As a family name it appears in medieval English records and spread through Scotland, Ireland, and later North America with migration. As a first name it surfaces in 19th to 20th century Anglophone naming, especially where honoring a maternal surname was fashionable. Busbie alternates with Busby, Busbee, and Busbey, typically pronounced BUZZ-bee. Possible short forms include Bus and Buzz, with occasional Buzzie. The name carries a quietly rugged, Norse-tinged place-name meaning and should not be confused with the military 'busby' fur cap.
