What does Boba mean?
/ˈboʊ.bə/

Boba doesn't have a single fixed meaning, but it's a familiar word for two different reasons: it's the chewy tapioca pearls at the bottom of a cup of bubble tea, and it's a well-known character name from science-fiction film. Either association gives the name an easy, pop-culture charm.

Boba is round, bouncy, and fun to say — a name that suits a small, dark-eyed companion with a bit of playful, chewy energy.
