Meaning & origin(measured from records)

Típusa: Apanévi eredetű, magyar családnév. Eredete: Valamelyik szláv eredetű és Bozs- kezdetű keresztnévnek (Bozsidar ’Isten és ajándék’, Bozsimir ’Isten és béke’, Bozsiszlav ’Isten és dicsőség’, Bozsivoj ’Isten és harc’) egy szótagú rövidülése magyar -ó kicsinyítő képzővel ellátva igen korán egyéni névvé lett. Mind a képző nélküli (Boz ~ Bozs), mind pedig a képzős alakra (Bozó ~ Bozsó) találunk példákat már az Árpád-korból. Ezután ’Bozsó nevű személy fia, leszármazotta’ jelentéssel apai családnévvé vált. Elterjedtsége: A Duna–Tisza közén és a Körösök vidékén gyakoribb.

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
