Bobra is a unisex given name of unknown origin and meaning, though it has been suggested to possibly derive from Slavic elements meaning 'god's fame' or 'splendor'. The name first gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, reaching its peak usage around 1950. However, it has since become less common, with fewer than five girls and boys receiving this name annually in recent years. Bobra is not typically associated with any specific culture or region, making it a unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon but straightforward name.
"Only seven babies named Bobra were born annually in 1939."
