Etymology, Boii tribe?[edit]

Total guess, but is there any chance the Boii tribe could have influenced this description? (Of Bohemian, Bavarian and Bologna significance) - they had much contact with the Romans, other Gallic tribes, and German tribes, and were considered very warlike.. and boisterous, though had mostly been assimilated into other cultures by 2nd/3rd Century AD. If there is some estimate on when the word started to be used it could put the link to bed, or hint at this being a possibility. Though my guess would be just a happy coincidence.86.171.54.159 20:19, 28 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
