BULSARA
Bulsara
The surname Bulsara is of Indian Parsi origin, but it is most famously associated with the British rock legend Freddie Mercury. Born Farrokh Bulsara on the 5th of September 1946 in Zanzibar (now part of Tanzania), Mercury adopted his stage name inspired by the family's ancestral name.
The Bulsara family can trace their roots to the Parsi community of Gujarat, India, a group who migrated to Zanzibar for trade opportunities. After relocating to England in the 1960s, Freddie Mercury found global fame as the lead vocalist of the iconic rock band Queen. His charismatic stage presence, powerful vocals, and songwriting talent cemented his status as one of the greatest performers in music history.
Despite Freddie Mercury's untimely death in 1991, the Bulsara surname remains synonymous with his enduring legacy. It represents not only the remarkable musical contributions of Freddie Mercury but also the rich cultural tapestry of the Indian Parsi diaspora in Britain.
Throughout history, the Bulsara name has become a symbol of creativity, flamboyance, and individuality, embodying the spirit of artistic expression and musical innovation.
There are approximately 427 people named Bulsara in the UK. That makes it one of Britain's least common surnames. Only around seven in a million people in Britain are named Bulsara.
