What does Bosco mean?
2 syllables

Bosco comes from the Italian word for "wood" or "forest," traced through Medieval Latin "boscus" back to a Germanic root — the same root that gives English "bush." As a name, it carries an outdoorsy, rustic feel rather than a formal history — it's used more as a nickname or word-name than a traditional given name.

Bosco has an easy, tumbling sound that suits a pet with a scruffy coat or a love of the outdoors. It feels playful and grounded at once — good for a companion who's happiest on a trail or rolling in the yard.
