Bogart is a Dutch/Flemish surname-turned-given name derived from Middle Dutch boogaard/boomgaard, “orchard,” literally “tree-enclosure.” It originally denoted someone who lived by or tended an orchard, so the sense is “orchard dweller/keeper” or “from the orchard.” The surname is well attested in the medieval Low Countries, with numerous regional spellings.

As a first name, Bogart emerged in the 20th century, especially in English-speaking countries, influenced by screen icon Humphrey Bogart, whose surname lent the brisk, retro-Hollywood aura the name still carries. It remains rare but recognizable, with occasional use in the Netherlands and Belgium as well. Variant spellings and related forms include Bogaert, Boogaard, Bogaard, Bogert, Bogard, and Boogaert; nicknames include Bo and Bogie/Bogey. Compare cognates like English Orchard or French Verger in meaning. The name is typically masculine but may be used unisex in contemporary practice.
