Bohous is the diacritic-free form of Czech Bohouš, a familiar diminutive of Bohuslav.

Notable bearers include Czech actor Bohuš Záhorský and singer Bohouš Josef, which helped keep the nickname visible in popular culture. Variants and related forms: Bohouš (standard Czech), Bohuš, Bohus, and the pet Bohoušek; full form Bohuslav; feminine Bohuslava. Cognates include Polish Bogusław (diminutive Boguś) and Slovak Bohuslav. In English contexts, Bohous commonly appears without diacritics.
