Meaning and background

The story behind Boubouki

Boubouki is used by a design label whose founder explains that it grew from her own tile-sticker designs. On the brand’s account, the chosen word means bud in Greek. That is a documented explanation of this particular business name, rather than an independent dictionary history of a personal name. It offers a floral association for the spelling, but the translation should remain attributed to the founder pending stronger linguistic evidence.
