Ihnat Boiwka had seven children. Four of these children moved to the United States in the early 1900's. Three of the four spelled their last name Boiwka and the youngest spelled it Bouika. The cyrillic spelling of the last name is Боївка. The meaning of the name is fighting squad. Ihnat Boiwka was born in the Lemko village of Komancha, which is currently known as Komancza, Poland. Ethnicity is difficult to pinpoint due to political border changes. Boiwka's living in Europe today consider themselves to be Ukrainian.
