Just to give a different slant on this.
Awhile ago, there was a piece in military history magazine about this and as
best as I can recall the interpretation of the name was from the Roman/Celtic
upper class point-of-view. Which is that it is related to the Old Irish
<bocht> which meant poor. The name would have been given by the loyal Gaulish
upper-class and picked up by the Romans.
Thanks; I'll pass this on as well.
