Ide o staré maďarské mužské meno utvorené zo staršieho maďarského apelatíva bódog, ktoré je predchodcom dnešného slova boldog. Jeho pôvodný význam bol „bohatý, zámožný“, neskôr nadobudlo významy „šťastný, blažený“. V maďarskej kresťanskej a kalendárnej tradícii sa meno významovo spájalo s latinským menom Félix.
