Bhāskara (भास्कर) or Bhāskararasa is the name of an Ayurvedic recipe defined in the fourth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 4, ajīrṇa: indigestion).

India history and geography

Source: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptions

Bhāskara (भास्कर) is an example of a name based on the Sun mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Derivation of personal names (e.g., Bhāskara) during the rule of the Guptas followed patterns such as tribes, places, rivers and mountains.

Source: academia.edu: The Date of Aryabhata

Bhaskara I [Saka 444] [100-20 BCE].—Since Someshvara records the date as Kali 3730 in his commentary on Aryabhatiyam, it has been wrongly assumed that Bhaskara I lived around 628-629 CE. In reality, Someshvara lived around 628-629 CE and not Bhaskara I. Therefore, we must fix the date of Bhaskara I based on the internal evidence of his available works “Mahabhaskariyam” and “Laghubhaskariyam”. It may be noted that Sankaranarayana places Bhaskara I after Varahamihira and Prithudakasvamin (Saka 786 = 203 CE) & Bhaskara II (Saka 1036-1105 = 453-522 CE) place him before Brahmagupta.

Evidently, Bhaskara I (100-20 BCE) was the first who revived the astronomy of Aryabhatiyam in the 1 st century BCE. He first wrote a commentary on Aryabhatiyam. Thereafter, he wrote Mahabhaskariyam to elaborate the siddhanta of Aryabhata. He also wrote Laghubhaskariyam which is an abridged version of Mahabhaskariyam

Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the Śilāhāras

Bhāskara (भास्कर) is the name of a member of the mahāparṣad (assembly) mentioned in the “Ciñcaṇī plate of the reign of Cittarāja”. Accordingly, “Now, while the Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, the illustrious Cāmuṇḍarāja, who, by his religious merit, has obtained the right to the five mahāśabdas... is governing Saṃyāna, he addresses all persons, whether connected with himself or others (such as Bhāskara)...”.

This plate (mentioning Bhāskara) was found together with eight others at Chincaṇī in the Ḍahāṇu tāluka of the Ṭhāṇā District, North Koṅkaṇ, in 1955. The object of the inscription is to record the grant, by Cāmuṇḍarāja, of a ghāṇaka (oil-mill) in favour of the temple Kautuka-maṭhikā of the goddess Bhagavatī at Saṃyāna. The gift was made by pouring out water on the hand of the Svādhyāyika (scholar) Vīhaḍa, on the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight (i.e. amāvāsyā) of Bhādrapada in the śaka year 956.

Bhāskara is one of the Brāhmaṇa donees mentioned in the “Asankhali plates of Narasiṃha II” (1302 A.D.). When a grant was made to a large number of Brāhmaṇas, the chief amongst the donees seems to have been called Pānīyagrāhin especially. In the present record, though all the donees (e.g., Bhāskara) are referred to as Pāṇigrāhi-mahājana, their list is headed by a Brāhmaṇa with Pāṇigrahī as his surname.

These copper plates (mentioning Bhāskara) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king Vīra-Narasiṃhadeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-kaṭaka (city, camp or residence).
