Etymology

Medieval Latin, from Baioarii 'Bavarians', from Late Latin Bojuvarii, literally, 'Boii settlers', compound of Gaulish Boii 'the Boii tribe' and Proto-Germanic *warjaz 'settler' (compare Old Norse verjar 'defender, settler'), from Proto Indo-European (compare Welsh gwerin 'crowd', Sanskrit vṛndám 'group, troop, crowd'). This name was adopted by the Marcomanni after defeating the Boii and settling Bohemia and parts of Bavaria.
