Buz Buz

The name Buz occurs twice in the Bible. The first Buz is the second son of Nahor and Milcah. The second Buz is a man from Gad (1 Chr 5:14).

The name Buz is identical to the word Buz (buz 213a) meaning contempt. The root Buz (buz 213) means to despise, hold as insignificant; Prov 1:7, `Fools buz wisdom and instruction.' The meaning of the noun buz (213a) is illustrated by Prov 18:3, Ps 31:18, but the most remarkable usage of buz is God pouring out buz upon nobles (Ps 107:40).

The name Buz means Contempt.
