Explicación y Etimología - (坊ちゃん) bochan

坊ちゃん It is a Japanese word that refers to a young boy or boy. The word is made up of two kanjis: 坊, which means "monk" or "boy", and ちゃん, a honorary suffix used to express affection or affection. The origin of the word dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when the samurai children were often sent to study in Buddhist temples, where they were called "bōzu" (young monks). Over time, the word evolved into "Bōchan" and, later, to "Bōchān" or "Bōchama", which is an even more loving way to refer to a young boy. Nowadays, the word is used to refer to a well-educated young boy, usually of a wealthy family.
