Bohemia

Latinized translation of French Bohème, from Late Latin Boiohaemum, compound of Germanic *haimaz (“home”) (more at 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 *bhei- (“warrior, strong hitter”).

Bohemia was abandoned by the Boii ca. 60 BCE. and settled by the Germanic Marcomanni shortly thereafter.[1] Related to Bavaria.
