The Scandinavian form comes from a nickname derived from Old Norse bua "to live".
The Chinese form means "a wave".
It has a frisky meaning however you look at it. However, I can't name any famous Bo's. But there was a famous "Beau" (with the same pronounciation: Beau Brummell!)

If i would remember if famous people used the name Bo, in my language,which is Tongan Bo would be toilet. Now,you might think that's funny in a way or i'm trying to be a comedian but the correction of Bo is Bou which means wise and wisdom.

Beau is a boyfriend.
Bow is the thing that shoots an arrow, or a bent or twisted thing (bow tie, rainbow).

I have no idea what it would mean in Afrikaans. "Bo" isn't a popular South African name. But translated literally it means "up" or "on top."
E.g. "Kyk bo" - "Look up".
Only "famous" person I can think of is Bo Derek!

I really don't know but that is the name I gave to my dog whom I loved a lot. He's gone now.
