Template:Infobox given name Bogdan (Cyrillic: Богдан) is a Slavic masculine name that appears in the South Slavic languages and in Polish and Romanian. It is derived from the Slavic words Bog (Cyrillic: Бог), meaning 'god', and dan (Cyrillic: дан), meaning 'given'. The name appears to be an early calque from Greek Theódoros (Theodore, Theodosius) or Hebrew Matthew with the same meaning.[1] The name is also used as a surname in Hungary, Romania, Serbia and Croatia. Bogdana is the feminine version of the name.

Variations

Slavic variants include Bulgarian and Serbo-Croatian Božidar (Божидар)[2] and Polish Bożydar, and diminutive forms and nicknames include Boguś, Bodya, Boca, Boci, Boća, Boša, Bogi, Bo, Boga Boga, Boggie.[citation needed] The feminine form is Bogdana, with variants such as Bogdanka.
