Bothe is German in Origin.
Bothe is a Germanic given name and surname, most closely tied to the medieval German name Botho, from Old High German boto “messenger; envoy,” ultimately related to the Proto-Germanic verb *beudaną “to announce, bid” (source of English bid and German bieten). In modern German, der Bote means “the messenger,” and Bothe is pronounced BOH-tuh; in English contexts it may be heard as BOH-thee.
Used as a personal name in the Holy Roman Empire, especially among Saxon and Thuringian nobility (compare Count Botho of Stolberg), it later survived mainly as a family name; bearers include physicist Walther Bothe. As a given name today, Bothe is rare but serviceable, sometimes chosen to honor German or Dutch roots. Variants and cognates include Botho, Bodo, Bote, Bode, and Both; short forms Bo or Bodie appear in modern usage. Not related to Booth or Bodhi.
