Bobov is Slavic in Origin.

Bobov is a Slavic-derived name built from bob, the common Slavic word for “bean” (Russian боб, Polish bób, Bulgarian боб), plus the possessive suffix -ov meaning “of” or “belonging to.” As a byname it meant “bean-grower” or marked descent from someone nicknamed for beans; as a modern given name it carries earthy, fertile symbolism and a straightforward, rustic charm. In Jewish contexts it also echoes the Yiddish/Polish toponym Bobov/Bobowa, the Galician town that gave its name to the Bobov Hasidic dynasty.

Usage has been far more common as a surname across East and South Slavic lands, attested in early modern records. As a first name it is rare but occasionally chosen to honor Slavic heritage or the Bobov dynasty. Variants and related forms include the feminine Bobova, transliterations Boboff and Bobow, and the adjectival Bobover; short forms Bo, Bob, or Bobo work as nicknames.
