== Etymology ==
The placename is attested in medieval documents since c.1200 as ''Boulewas'', ''Bouldwas'', ''Boulwas'' and similar forms. It is believed to derive from a compound whose second element was the Old English word ''wæsse'' (Middle English ''was''), possibly meaning 'a riverside place that is prone to quick flooding'; this element is thought to appear also in the names Alrewas, Broadwas, Buildwas, Hopwas, Rotherwas and Sugwas. The first element has been identified as either a form of Old English
*''bogel'' 'little bend',〔 or of Old English ''bold'' 'house'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.melocki.org.uk/salop/GreatBolas.html )〕
