What is the meaning of the name Bozena ?

The baby name Bozena is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced BOH-zheh-nah (IPA: /ˈboʒɛna/).

Bozena is Slavic in Origin.

Bozena (Czech/Slovak Božena; Polish Bożena) is a Slavic feminine given name built on the root boh/bog “god,” via the adjectival stem bož-, meaning “divine,” “of God,” or “blessed.” It belongs to the wider family of Slavic theophoric names and is semantically related to Božidar/Bozhidar (“God’s gift”), though Bozena functions as an independent adjectival form rather than a compound.

Attested in medieval Central Europe, the name gained modern prominence through Czech culture, especially the writer Božena Němcová (1820–1862). It remains familiar in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, and Croatia, and appears in Russian and Ukrainian as Божена (Bozhena), often via 20th‑century borrowing. Diminutives include Boženka and Božka (Czech/Slovak) and Bożenka (Polish). Variants and spellings encompass Božena, Bożena, Bozhena, and the diacritic‑free international form Bozena; related Polish/Czech forms include Bożenna/Boženna.
