Etymology: Borrowed from a Southeast European or West Asian language, possibly borrowed multiple times from several languages in different German subcultures. The word was popularised by rapper Haftbefehl (who is of Turkish and Zaza ancestry) in his 2012 single "Chabos wissen wer der Babo ist" ("Boys know who the boss is"), and the most likely derivation is from Zazaki babo (“father”), possibly influenced by Turkish baba (“father, crime boss”). The word was however in use prior to Haftbefehl, and these isolated uses might derive from Serbo-Croatian babo (“father”) or Carpathian Romani babo (“father”) (alongside the Romani-derived Chabo).

The word was popularised by rapper Haftbefehl (who is of Turkish and Zaza ancestry) in his 2012 single \"Chabos wissen wer der Babo ist\" (\"Boys know who the boss is\"), and the most likely derivation is from Zazaki babo (“father”), possibly influenced by Turkish baba (“father, crime boss”). The word was however in use prior to Haftbefehl, and these isolated uses might derive from Serbo-Croatian babo (“father”) or Carpathian Romani babo (“father”) (alongside the Romani-derived Chabo).",
