  1. Boaz is a man in the Holy Bible whose character reflects that of the Messiah. My husband and I kind of joked during a sermon we were listening too, but the more we learned about the humility, honor, gentleness, respect, and steadfastness this man showed in scripture the more we fell in love. Boaz means “strength” or “swift”. I love the nicknames “Bo” and “Bobo” that are playful yet charming. My only dislike would be that “Bo” is a very popular name or nickname it seems in the 2020’s! We love it still!

  2. We love strong, short names. Our prayer is that he lives up to his namesake as a generous provider to many.

  3. We chose Boaz because we live God’s Word, the Bible. Boaz is a man from the book of Ruth in the Bible. He r deemed Ruth by marrying her after her husband died. He married her even though she was not an Israelite and had been married before. But he hinir d God by redeeming the family of Ruth’s husband who had died by ensuring that his family continued through him. The line of king David and eventually Jesus Christ comes through Ruth and Boaz. We love Jesus’s redemption and have put our eternal hope in Him so we love the story of Ruth and Boaz because our salvation in part comes because of them.

  4. Boaz is from the bible. He is the man ruth waited for from God.
