Bozhkov

Name: Bozhkov

Gender: Masculine

Origin: Europe

Language: Bulgarian

Thematic: Biblical

Meaning: This is a surname(family name) which is composed of two parts: "bozh" and "kov". "Bozh" comes from the Bulgarian word for "from the God" or "of the God" (the English equivalent would have to be "divine", referring to origin). "Kov" comes from the Bulgarian word for "forge". Thus, the entire name literally means "divine forge". However, it would be more reasonable to interpret it as "one who forges with the power of God" or "one whose actions are forged by God". Please note that I (the author of this article) have put this down from my own knowledge. Therefore, any of the data provided may be inaccurate. Furthermore, I am not entirely sure whether "kov" comes from the Bulgarian verb for "to forge" or the noun. Also, "Bozhkov" is the masculine version. The feminine version is "Bozhkova".
