Etymology

Bousbach has historically been attested as ''Buezbach'' in 1429 and ''Buschbach'' in 1525. Bousbach and its German counterpart are Germanic in origin, deriving from a High German dialect, ultimately from Proto-West-Germanic '' *busk''. The Germanic hydronym '' *-bak(i)'' entered the French language via High German, and took on two forms: the Germanic form ''-bach'' and Romantic ''-bais''.
