Bushe Coat of Arms

The surname Bushe has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Búadhaigh, which means "descendant of Búadach." The Gaelic personal name Búadach itself is derived from the word búadh, which means "victory" or "triumph." The surname was likely given to someone who was considered victorious or triumphant in some way. The Bushe family can trace its roots back to County Kerry in southwestern Ireland. They were originally part of the Dál gCais tribal grouping, which was led by the powerful O'Brien clan. The first recorded instance of the surname Bushe in Ireland dates back to the 13th century. Over the centuries, the Bushe family spread out from County Kerry and established themselves in other parts of Ireland. They became prominent in areas such as County Cork and County Tipperary. The family name was anglicized to Bushe during the English colonization of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Bushe family has produced several notable individuals throughout history. One of the most prominent figures was Charles Kendal Bushe, an Irish barrister and judge who served as Chief Justice of Ireland in the early 19th century. Another notable member of the family was Richard Jebb, an Irish classical scholar and politician who was instrumental in the formation of the University of Dublin. Today, the surname Bushe is still found in Ireland and among Irish diaspora communities around the world.
