Name «Bohov»

The name Bohov has its roots in historical monuments of the Maramureș-Sighet district, dated to the mid-16th century. For example, a 1542 record about a landowner from the village of Velike Selište mentions the name Jo Bohó, which is read as Johannes Bohov. Etymological analysis of this surname shows that it is formed from the anthroponym Boh and the Slavic connective suffix -ov, indicating belonging or origin.
