Bouxwiller (French pronunciation: [buksvilɛʁ] ⓘ;[3] German: Buchsweiler; Alemannic German: Buxwiller, or Busswiller) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department, Alsace, Grand Est, France.

[5] The current spelling of the town's name dates to the French Revolution.

In 1792, the German spelling Buchsweiler—sometimes seen as Bouxweiler—was officially replaced with its French equivalent Bouxwiller, then Bouxviller in 1793.

The suffix -willer is the French spelling of the German -weiler, which derives from the Medieval Old High German suffix -willer, which in turn is derived from the Low Latin word villare and means "agricultural land".

[4][5] However, this origin is improbable considering the use of Puxuvilare in 724, since the Latin suffix -villare was not associated with vegetation.
