The US city is named after the English town (from which several prominent colonists had come), which itself is sometimes said to be named as a contraction of Botolph's town or Botolph's stone (the name Botolph itself coming from Old English Botwulf, from boda + wulf). However, this is uncertain.

A number of places in the United States:

The capital and largest city of Massachusetts, the informal capital of New England, and the county seat of Suffolk County.

A city in Georgia; named for Thomas M. Boston, who found a medicinal spring near the town site.
