Etymology

From Middle French Bohême, from Late Latin Boiohaemum, compound of Proto-Germanic *haimaz (“home”) and Boio- ‘the Boii’, the Celtic tribe previously inhabiting the area. The endonym is from Proto-Celtic *boio and could ultimately be from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws, a reference to cattle owners, or from *bʰeyh₂- (“warrior, strong hitter”).
