Bose Origin and Meaning

The name Bose is a boy's name.

Bose is a masculine name with multiple cultural origins. In Indian contexts, particularly Bengali, it functions as both a surname and given name derived from the Sanskrit word 'vasu' meaning 'wealth' or 'bright.' In Yoruba culture (Nigeria), Bose means 'born on Sunday' or can be short for names containing 'bose' like Bosede ('born with royalty'). The name gained some recognition through notable bearers like physicist Satyendra Nath Bose and audio equipment company founder Amar Bose. While uncommon as a first name in Western countries, Bose remains used in its cultures of origin, appreciated for its brevity and pleasant sound.
