What Bushraa means

Glad tidings, the best of good news — from root ب-ش-ر (bashshara — to give glad tidings, to announce good news). بشرى (Bushra — glad tidings, the announcement of great good news). The Quran uses this word in some of its most celebrated verses: 'Lahum al-bushra fi al-hayat al-dunya wa fi al-akhirah — For them are glad tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter' (10:64). And the angel's announcement to Maryam (AS): 'O Maryam, indeed Allah gives you glad tidings (yubashiruki) of a word from Him' (3:45).

Bushraa/Bushra names the woman who is herself the glad tidings — whose arrival in people's lives is the good news they were waiting for. The double 'a' spelling (Bushraa) is the more Arabic-faithful transliteration capturing distinct search volume.
