One of the earliest recorded instances of the name BUISCH can be found in the parish records of Saarbrücken, a city in the western part of modern-day Germany, where a Johann Buisch was listed in 1587. This suggests that the name may have its roots in this region.

One such individual was Friedrich Buisch (1819-1887), a German-born artist and painter who lived and worked in the United States, known for his landscape paintings of the American West.
