About Boden
Boden is most often inspired by the clothing catalog of the same name, and it feels like an appropriate first name for boys because of its stylish two-syllable -n ending rhythm, a la Logan, Mason, Owen, and other trendy choices. While Boden or Bowden is a fairly common English surname, in German it is the everyday name for "floor".
Boden may also be a variation of Beauden, an elaboration of the French name Beau. The Boden spelling entered the US Top 1000 in 2014 and has been slowly on the rise since then. You might also consider Bowen, Bode, Bodhi, and Bowie if you enjoy the sounds.
Pronounced BO-den.
As of October 2026, Boden ranked #769 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #757 in 2023, Nameberry popularity #933.
