Buz, a personal and tribal name; son of Nahor, associated with Arabian tribes
A name borne by Nahor's second son (Abraham's nephew) and the Arabian tribe descended from him. Buz appears in the Table of Nations as Abraham's extended family (Genesis 22:21). The tribe of Buz is mentioned alongside Dedan and Tema in Jeremiah's oracle against Arabian peoples (Jeremiah 25:23), suggesting a location in northern Arabia. Additionally, a Gadite named Buz appears in Chronicles (1 Chronicles 5:14). The name connects patriarchal genealogy with later tribal geography.
