Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Slovanské zložené meno utvorené z praslovanských základov bogъ („boh“) a milъ („milý, drahý“). Vykladá sa ako „Bohu milý“ alebo „milovaný Bohom“. Významovo zodpovedá gréckemu menu Theofilos, latinskému Amadeus a nemeckému Gottlieb; nemožno ho však jednoznačne pokladať iba za kresťanský kalk týchto mien.
