Bozi is Slavic in Origin.

Bozi is a rare cross-cultural given name with two main roots. In South Slavic and Bulgarian/Macedonian contexts, it reflects the theophoric bož- element from bog, “god,” conveying “divine” or “of God.” As such, it functions as a short or affectionate form tied to names like Božo and Božidar/Bozhidar (“God’s gift”), and can also echo associations with Božić, the Christmas season. In Chinese, Bozi is a pinyin romanization for two-character names such as 博子 (“learned child”), 伯子 (“eldest son”), or 柏子 (“cypress seed”); meaning varies with the chosen characters.

Usage traces to medieval Christian naming in the Balkans, where bož- names were widespread and Bozi/Boži surfaces in records and as a byname. Modern bearers are uncommon and the spelling without diacritics often appears in diaspora contexts. Related or variant forms include Boži, Bozhi, Božo, Božidar/Bozhidar (m.), and Božica or Bozhana/Bożena (f.).
