Notes on Bojidarovitch
Bojidarovitch has its roots in the Balkan, with “Bojidar” translated  as “devine gift" and “ovitch” “as “Son of”.
So, son of a respected or privileged person who is favoured by the Gods or similar.
This has roots going back to at least the 7th Century, with an attempt to assassinate the entire Bojidarovitch family noted in the 11th Century, with one Prince; Bozidar Vlastmiri, surviving to carry on the family line.
In our family the name was still in use by our Great Grandfather who died in 1930 and was known as Bojidarovitch de Vesselitsky, with de Vesselitsky  being a Russian version of similar meaning.
The use of Bojidarovitch died out when the family name was changed to de Vesselitsky by Sergei ( his son) in 1918, though his father Gabrielcontinued to use Bojidarovitch de Vesselitsky.
