Proto-Slavic

Etymology

From earlier *bojan- (compare Ancient Greek βοάνος (boános), attested in the 10th century), a borrowing from a Turkic language, probably from Avar bajan (“ruler of the horde”), the title of the Avars' khagan misinterpreted as a name (compare similar development in *vodzь), from Proto-Turkic *bāj (“rich, noble”). The Turkic word is usually considered a borrowing from an Iranian language, from the same lexical root whence also Proto-Slavic *bogъ (“god”), but some consider it to be native or possibly Altaic.
