Botha
Botha is a common Afrikaans surname, derived from the Friso-Saxon Both. It was brought to South Africa in 1678 by German soldiers who subsequently intermarried with the local Dutch population. Botha roughly translates to "son of the leader" in Middle Dutch.
The progenitors of the extended clan are Frederich Botha (born Wangenheim, Thuringia) and his lover Maria Kickers (born Amsterdam, North Holland).
