About Bohannon
From the Irish surname Ó Buadhachanáin, which has at its core buadhach, "victorious". It has appeared in the US charts since 2014, probably in honor of the disco music pioneer Hamilton Bohannon, who was often known simply by his surname. This name therefore ticks several style boxes: an Irish surname, a music legend, and a cool "Bo" sound, with Bo as a possible nickname.
Pronounced bo-HAN-un.
As of October 2026, Bohannon ranked #9848 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4619 for boys in 2018.
