Bogie is a brisk, vintage-flavored diminutive turned given name. In English it entered wide view as the sobriquet of actor Humphrey Bogart (“Bogie”), and has occasionally been used as a first name since the mid‑20th century. It also serves as a pet form of Slavic Bog‑ names - Bogdan/Bohdan, Bogusław, and Bogumił - built on the Slavic root bog, “God.” In Scotland, Bogie appears as a surname/place‑name reference to the River Bogie in Aberdeenshire, likely related to Scots bog, “marsh.”

Usage remains rare but recognizable, especially in the US and UK, sometimes chosen to evoke Old Hollywood cool. Variants and cognates include Bogey, Bogi (Central Europe), and the clipped Bo; feminine relatives include Bogna and Bohdana. Meaning depends on origin: from the Slavic root it conveys “given by God” or “God’s glory”; via Bogart it connects to Dutch Bogaert “orchard”; as a toponym, “from the Bogie” or “near a boggy stream.”
