Bourne Shell is an implementation of UNIX Shell. Other implementations of UNIX Shell.

The Bourne Shell is a Unix shell upon which many shells are based; notably the Korn shell and Bourne Again SHell. (The other major tree of Unix shells descend from csh.)

Portable Shell Syntax is the scripting language syntax used by the System V Bourne shell. This syntax is compatible with the heirloom shell and is the syntax documented in most Unix books.

A Bourne Shell script begins with a shebang (also known as a hashbang) like this, which tells the operating system to use the Bourne compatible shell interpreter: 

#!/bin/sh

In 2009, Computerworld published an in-depth interview with Steve Bourne, The A-Z of Programming Languages: Bourne shell, or sh, which details the Bourne shell origins and design decisions.
