Bodog Origin and Meaning

The name Bodog is a boy's name.

Bodog is a rare masculine name with Hungarian origins. The name derives from the Hungarian word 'boldog,' which means 'happy' or 'blessed.' Despite its positive meaning, Bodog has remained extremely uncommon outside of Hungary and Hungarian communities. Historically, the name has connections to Hungarian folklore and tradition, though it was never among the most popular choices even within Hungary. The name's distinctive sound and uncommon nature make it a bold choice for parents seeking something truly unique. Bodog offers a conversation-starting name with a fundamentally optimistic meaning, though its unfamiliarity in most cultures might present pronunciation challenges.
