Boye✔"Irish Pedigrees",vol.2, by John O'Hart. Pub 1892, Dublin 'Naturalized in Great Britain or Ireland'. There is a Boye family with family tradition: 'Family oral history claims that they were French and fled "during the revolutions", which I assume to mean they were Huguenots... They were supposedly among the first in the area of New York, which would put them there quite early.' Prounounced 'boy'. This correspondent states that related lines that kept the Booye spelling pronounce it Boo-ee.

INDIABoseWikipediaBose or Basu or Boshu is a surname found amongst Bengali Hindus. Boses belong to Kayastha caste in Bengal. The Bengali Kayasthas evolved as a caste from a category of officials or scribes, between the 5th/6th century AD and 11th/12th century AD, its component elements being putative Kshatriyas and mostly Brahmins.[1] Boses are considered as Kulin Kayasthas, along with Ghoshes, Mitras and Guhas.[2]' (Wikipedia 7 Dec 2015) NB DIFFERENT FROM GERMAN VON BOSE
