BOZIDARA— “Slave, God’s gift”
Theodorus and Theodora are answered by Bogdan and Bogdana, both spelt with _h_ in Bohemia—Bohdan, Bohdana, and in Illyria Bozidar, Bozidara; and, as has been already said, the Divine birth-night, Christmas, is commemorated by Slovak children being called Bozo. Bogohval is Thank God, Bogoboj, God’s battle, all names in use in Poland and the kindred nations before the general names of Europe displaced the native growth.
