Bogdan or Bohdan ( Cyrillic: Богдан) is a Slavic masculine name that also appears in Romania and Moldova. It is derived from the Slavic words Bog/Boh (Cyrillic: Бог), meaning " God", and dan (Cyrillic: дан), meaning "given". The name appears to be an early calque from Byzantine Theodotus ( Theodosius) with the same meaning. The name is also used as a surname.
Bogdan is the brand of the Ukrainian buses and trolleybuses made by Bogdan Corporation. The original two front-engine/rear-wheel drive models (Bohdan A091 and Bohdan A092) are powered by Isuzu and marketed outside Ukraine under Isuzu brand. Large city buses, such as the rear-engined Bogdan A145 and Bohdan A1445, are also produced. The production is situated in the city of Cherkasy, although there are plans of moving it to the LuAZ plant in the city of Lutsk. These vehicles are generally serving as marshrutka (routed taxicab / minibus) in former Soviet regions. The plant was originally the Cherkasy Autorepair Plant, which was founded in 1964.
Bogdan generally represents a given name of Slavic origin.
