What is the meaning of the name Bohous ?

The baby name Bohous is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈboɦouʃ/ (BOH-housh).

Bohous is Czech in Origin.

Bohous is the diacritic-free form of Czech Bohouš, a familiar diminutive of Bohuslav. The root combines the Common Slavic bog/bůh “god” and slava “glory, fame,” yielding the meaning “glory of God” or “God’s glory.” Used across the Czech and Slovak linguistic area, Bohous preserves the affectionate tone of -ouš diminutives while pointing back to the statelier Bohuslav.

Records from the late 19th and 20th centuries show Bohouš/Bohous in steady colloquial use, sometimes entering civil registers as an independent given name. Notable bearers include Czech actor Bohuš Záhorský and singer Bohouš Josef, which helped keep the nickname visible in popular culture. Variants and related forms: Bohouš (standard Czech), Bohuš, Bohus, and the pet Bohoušek; full form Bohuslav; feminine Bohuslava. Cognates include Polish Bogusław (diminutive Boguś) and Slovak Bohuslav. In English contexts, Bohous commonly appears without diacritics.
