köken: From Middle High German buobe (“knave”), from Old High German Buobo, a male name of unknown meaning, though probably formed as a reduplication of a syllable *bo which may be abstracted from Proto-Germanic *brōþēr (“brother”), based on the original meaning of "male child", reinforced by sound-symbolism. Cognate with Dutch boef (“villain”). Probably also related to boy; see there for more.

köken: From chłop + -ak. Originally from the Mazovian dialect, as there is a tendency to use the suffix -ak instead of -ę to create young nouns (compare Polish dziecię vs Polish dzieciak, źrebię vs źrebak). First attested in 1731.
köken: Most likely originated as the past participle of băia (“to care for an infant”), in which case possibly influenced by bărbat in derivation. Compare băiată (“girl”). Other theories suggest a connection to Medieval Latin balietus, from baietus (“page, serving boy”).
