The Boiko Family Name

Boiko and Bojko are two spellings with one history. Surname dictionaries give the meaning as “A personal-name element or a Rusyn group designation”.

Boiko and Bojko

The two spellings differ in a small detail: Boiko has “i” where Bojko has “j”. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. The same family of names includes Bójkowa and Bójkówna.

Boiko ranked 67,747 in the 2010 US Census, with 291 people answering to the name.

Family crest and blazon

Heraldry is personal: arms associated with the Bojko surname were borne by specific families, and sharing the name does not mean sharing the blazon.
