What is the meaning of the name Bogar ?

The baby name Bogar is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈboʊɡɑr/ (BOH-gar),/ˈbɒɡər/ (BOG-er).

Bogar is Hungarian, Norse, Scandinavian, Tamil in Origin.

Bogar is a multicultural given name with several plausible sources. In Hungarian, Bogár (accented) is a noun meaning “beetle” and exists long as a descriptive surname; the unaccented Bogar reflects diaspora spelling and is occasionally adopted as a rare first name. In South India, Bogar (also Bhogar/Bhoganathar) names the revered Tamil Siddhar; here the element derives from Sanskrit bhoga “enjoyment, experience,” with the Tamil honorific -ar.

Usage is uncommon worldwide but appears among Hungarian families reclaiming a heritage surname and among Tamil speakers honoring the saint, including in Sri Lanka and the diaspora. In Slavic contexts, it may be read alongside the bog- “god” root that underlies names like Bogdan, giving the devotional sense “of God.” Variants and related forms include Bogár, Bhogar, Bhogan, and Bog- names such as Bogdan, Bogomir, Bogusław; feminine parallels include Bogdana and Bogumiła.
