Bosse Origin and Meaning

The name Bosse is a boy's name.

Bosse is a masculine name with Scandinavian origins, primarily used in Sweden. It originated as a diminutive form of names containing the element 'Bo' (which means 'to live' or 'to dwell' in Old Norse) such as Botvid or Bo itself. In Swedish culture, Bosse functions as an affectionate nickname that has over time developed into a given name in its own right. The name carries connotations of friendliness and approachability. While common in Sweden and other Nordic countries, Bosse remains relatively rare internationally. Its straightforward pronunciation and friendly sound have maintained its steady, though modest, usage throughout Scandinavia.
