Published name usage
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Boys | 33 · preliminary | 799 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Boys | 36 | 873 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Scotland | 2024 | Boys | 3 | 727 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2022 | Boys | 4 | 657 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Boys | 333 | 769 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |

Name history: The surname spelling has distinct German, Swedish, Irish and English histories.
Checked against cited source
The North German account relates to the personal name Bode; a different German account refers to low ground. Swedish Bodén has a qualified hut/place interpretation, while Irish Ó Buadáin and English Bawden-related histories are separate. The licensed Anglo-Saxon messenger and Celtic blond claims are not approved as universal given-name meanings.

This is background for the surname spelling, not a verified derivation of every modern given name. No ancestry, personal attributes or parental naming intent inferred; spellings and popularity records stay separate.
