Its Arabic version Al-Bukhari was also used in the medieval Islamic world as a nisba (a specifier which is added at the end of names). This surname is also used by the Naqvi Bukhari Sayyids, descendants of the Prophet Muhammad through the lineage of Imam Ali al-Hadi.

A bukhāri ( Kashmiri: बुख़ारी or بُخاری) is a traditional space heater from the northern areas of the Indian Subcontinent, which is typically a wood-burning stove. Bukharis consist of a wide cylindrical fire-chamber at the base in which wood, charcoal or other fuel is burned and a narrower cylinder on the top that helps in heating the room and acts as a chimney. The base of a Kashmiribukhari is wider than that of most western wood-burning stoves. Bukharis are found in the entire northern belt of the region, i.e. Afghanistan, Kashmir, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan and Northeast India.
