Well----- It was also an old Italian surname, best known for the efforts of St John"Don" Bosco around the time of our Civil War, who tried to revolutionize early childhood education among the poorest kids by advocating love instead of punishment. There are plenty of Catholic schools named for him, resulting in team names like "the Bosco Bearcats" and "the Fighting Saints".... weird, que no?
Jeeezus! How'd we get off on THIS tangent???
