Bognah is Slavic in Origin.
Bognah is a modern, anglicized variant of the Polish feminine name Bogna, from the Slavic root bog meaning "god, divine, fortune." In medieval Poland, Bog- names were popular theophoric forms; Bogna likely began as a short form of compounds such as Bogdana, Bogumiła, or Bogusława. Bogna is recorded from the Middle Ages and revived in 20th-century Poland; Bognah appears mainly in diaspora as a spelling that fits English usage.
Its meaning centers on "divine, of God," extending to "God's gift" when traced through Bogdana. Variants and cognates include Bogna (standard), Bogdana/Bohdana, Bogdan/Bohdan (masculine), Bogumiła/Bohumila, and Bogusława/Bohuslava. Note that the Hungarian surname Bognár "wheelwright" is unrelated.
