Bohusz is Slavic in Origin.

Bohusz is a rare West Slavic masculine given name used in Polish, closely corresponding to Czech and Slovak Bohuš. It functions as a hypocoristic (short form) of theophoric names built on the Slavic root bog/bohu- “god, fortune,” such as Bogusław (Polish)/Bohuslav (Czech, Slovak) (“God’s glory” or “glorious thanks to God”) and Bogumił (Polish)/Bohumil (Czech, Slovak) (“dear to God”); by extension it can also abbreviate Bohdan/Bogdan (“God-given”).

Attested in Polish onomastics but far less common today than its Czech–Slovak counterpart, Bohusz appears in records both as a given name and within compound surnames. Related variants and cognates include Bohuš (Czech, Slovak), Bohus (transliterated), Bogusz (Polish), Bogusław/Bohuslav, Bogumił/Bohumil, and Bogdan/Bohdan; feminine forms are Bogusława and Bohumila. Polish diminutive Boguś is sometimes used alongside or instead of Bohusz. The name carries warmly devout connotations across Slavic cultures, emphasizing divine favor, glory, or belovedness.
