Bohannon

Irish

"descendant of the victorious one"

Bohannon Origin and Meaning

The name Bohannon is a boy's name meaning "descendant of the victorious one".

From the Irish surname Ó Buadhachanáin, which has at its core buadhach, "victorious". It has appeared in the US charts since 2014, probably in honor of the disco music pioneer Hamilton Bohannon, who was often known simply by his surname. This name therefore ticks several style boxes: an Irish surname, a music legend, and a cool "Bo" sound, with Bo as a possible nickname.
