Hungarian: possibly also from Bóda a pet form of the personal name Boldizsár Hungarian form of Baltazar (compare 3 below and Bodi ). Slovak (mainly Boďa): from a pet form of the personal name Baltazár Slovak form of Baltazar . Spanish: nickname from boda ‘wedding’ (from Latin vota ‘(marriage) vows’ plural of votum from vovere ‘to vow’). This surname is very rare in Spain.
