etymology

The name Bukhtishu or Bakhtishu means according to the Kitāb''Uyūn al-anbā' fī Tabaqat al-aṭibbā' (كتاب عيون الأنباء في طبقات الأطباء) of the Arabian historian Ibn Abi Usaibia (ابن أبي أصيبعة) servant Jesus (في اللغة السريانية البخت العبد ويشوع عيسى عليه السلام) in Syriac. However, the word Bukht is actually Middle Persian and means saved . Accordingly, the family name can be translated as saved by Jesus .
