Wikipedia
Boaz (; Modern Hebrew: בועז Bốʿaz; Massoretical Hebrew: בֹּ֫עַז Bṓʿaz; ) is a major figure in the Book of Ruth in the Bible. The term is found 24 times in the Scriptures, being two in Greek (in the form "Booz").
The root בעז, just used in the Bible in relation to "Boaz" (see The Temple), perhaps expresses 'quick(ness)' (cf. Ar. بَغْزٌ, 'swiftness [of horse]'). The etymology of the name has been suggested by many as be'oz, "in the strength of", or bo'oz, "in him (is) strength" from the root 'zz, "to be strong". Biblical scholar Martin Noth preferred "of sharp mind".
According to The Book of Mormon, the city Boaz was in the land northward near the land Desolation. The city is mentioned only once in the book, in . In this city, the Nephites fought boldly and repelled the first attack of the Lamanites but retreated after the second attack.
Boaz is a biblical figure in the Book of Ruth.
