Historical Context
Boe has limited documented history as an established given-name form. It is sometimes used as a spelling variation of Bo, a name found in Scandinavian traditions, and it may also be chosen for its resemblance to Beau. As an English-language given name in its own right, Boe is best viewed as a modern spelling choice rather than a name with one confirmed etymology.
