Boda Family History

Boda Surname Meaning

Hungarian: from a derivative of Bod, a personal name believed by some to be derived from a Turkic word meaning ‘twig’, but the etymology is uncertain. In Hungary, such one-element personal names of pagan origin were given to servants, usually before the 14th and 15th centuries when Christian names became dominant.

Hungarian: possibly also from Bóda, a pet form of the personal name Boldizsár, Hungarian form of Baltazar (compare 3 below and Bodi).

Slovak (mainly Boďa): from a pet form of the personal name Baltazár, Slovak form of Baltazar.

Spanish: nickname from boda ‘wedding’ (from Latin vota ‘(marriage) vows’, plural of votum, from vovere ‘to vow’). This surname is very rare in Spain.

Altered form of French Canadian Beaudin. Compare Bodah.
