Buzhi

"Name 'Bужи' is a rare Slavic male name. Its etymology is not fully clear, but it is most likely connected to the meaning 'savior', 'he who saves', which might indirectly link it to God. Another possible origin traces the name to ancient Slavic roots meaning something akin to 'to protect', 'to guard', or 'to remind of protection'. Historically, the name was common in Slavic countries during the Middle Ages. It was found among clergy and warriors. In modern Russia, the name 'Bужи' itself is very rarely used, but similar forms, such as 'Bожи' (Bogoy), were widespread and meant 'Divine', indicating the sacredness of the name. People with this name are often associated with strength, resilience, a protective nature, and a desire to help others. They may possess strong inner stubbornness and principle. Bearers of the name 'Bужи' are not as well-known in contemporary culture and science as more popular names. It is probable that this name was carried by clergy or military figures in the past. Nowadays, the name 'Bужи' is considered very uncommon in Russia and the CIS countries. It does not appear in the top 500 most common male names. Pet names can vary, for example, 'Bura', 'Zhik', or 'Bужка'. The nickname 'Spasik' is used in the meaning 'savior'."
