Meaning & Origin
An English surname common in Shropshire and the West Midlands area of central England.
Boden is a boy's baby name of Old Norse origin, from the Norse Bodin or Boden, meaning "shelter" or "one who brings tidings," related to the Old Norse bod (message, offer). It also has roots as an English surname from Shropshire.
Boden gained cultural visibility through the British clothing brand Boden, giving it a preppy, slightly upscale association in English-speaking countries. As a name, it sits comfortably alongside Caden, Jaden, and Hayden in the modern rhyming name tradition.
