Meaning and history
Bogdana is the feminine form of the Slavic name Bogdan. It combines bog, “god,” with a passive element meaning “given,” and therefore means “given by God.” The name belongs to a broad Slavic tradition of expressing gratitude or divine favour in personal names, comparable in sense to Greek Theodore. It is used in Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Ukrainian, and neighbouring languages. Notable bearers include Bulgarian singer Bogdana Karadocheva and Ukrainian violinist Bogdana Pivnenko.
