Bohdan is a boy's baby name of Ukrainian origin (also used in other Slavic languages), from the Slavic roots boh (God) and dan (given), meaning 'gift of God.' It is the Slavic equivalent of the Greek Theodore and Hebrew Nathaniel.
Bohdan is deeply rooted in Ukrainian history — Bohdan Khmelnytsky, the 17th-century Cossack Hetman, is one of Ukraine's greatest national heroes. In modern times, the name has become a symbol of Ukrainian national identity, widely used throughout Ukraine and in the Ukrainian diaspora worldwide.
