The surname Buksar is believed to have originated in the Slavic regions of Eastern Europe, likely in present-day Poland or Ukraine, during the medieval period. It is derived from the Slavic word "buksar," which means "hemp worker" or "one who processes hemp."

The earliest known record of the name Buksar can be found in a Polish census from the late 15th century, where it was spelled "Buksarz." This suggests that the name was already well-established in the region by that time.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the name Buksar began to spread to other parts of Eastern Europe, including Russia and Belarus. During this period, the name was sometimes spelled as "Buksarov" or "Buksaroff," reflecting the influence of Russian naming conventions.

One of the earliest notable individuals with the surname Buksar was Ivan Buksarov, a Russian merchant who lived in the late 17th century. He was known for his extensive trade networks and is mentioned in several historical documents from the time.

One prominent figure from this time was Jakub Buksar, a Polish landowner and military officer who served in the Austrian army during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815).

As the Buksar family spread across Eastern Europe, the name took on various local spellings and variations, such as "Buksari" in Romania and "Buksarov" in Bulgaria.

Another noteworthy individual with the surname Buksar was Andrzej Buksar, a Polish writer and journalist who lived in the 19th century (1820-1892). He was known for his work in promoting Polish culture and language during the partitions of Poland.
