Meaning and background
The story behind Bogart
Bogart has a documented Dutch surname history alongside whatever cultural association a household brings to it. The dictionary treats it as an archaic or Americanized variant of Bogaart, itself related to Bogaard, and probably also an Americanized form of Bogaert. It records the surname in seventeenth-century New Netherland. This spelling history is the supported origin here; a chosen namesake would be a separate reason for giving it to a dog.
