All over the world, Bowden (Bowden 
, 宝登 
, Боуден 
) is a rare principally male, but scarcely female forename. The forename Bowden is habitual in Tanzania, where it is a rare boy's name, the United States, where it is a very rare predominantly masculine, but scarcely girly name, and the United Kingdom. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in China, the United States, and Tanzania. Much more prevalently, Bowden is the last name as well as the forename.
Bowden is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: .
