The term refers primarily to individuals originating from Cush, a region generally identified with territories south of Egypt (often associated with Nubia or the Upper Nile region in contemporary scholarship). In the Hebrew Bible, the word is used ethnically to indicate someone whose ancestry is traced to Cush and, in some contexts, can serve as a personal name ('Cushi').
