Thanks to everyone's favorite clown, the name Bozo will probably not be used again for centuries to come. Same thing as with
Adolf (another clown).
Any ideas what the etymology of Bozo is? I have seen references of it used as a proper name (eg. the Reverend Božo Zunuella of Trieste - who reportedly sprinkles people with holy lemonade and deploys whoopie cushions in his congregation). Bozo / Božo seems to appear in the region formerly known as Yugoslavia. Any ideas?
