Yup. What I said. 
Also, in Portuguese, "Boba" means "silly."
None of these may be relevant or considered when the name Boba Fett was chosen.
As some of you know, Harrison "Han Solo" Ford's semi-mysterious character in George Lucas' 1973 (pre-Star Wars) film, American Graffiti, was "Officer Bob A. Falfa." Some quotes:

Also Fett could be short for fetter, which means a cage or restrainer.
"Boba" in Asiatic culture refers to a tapioca pearl, usually found in a type of milky tea drink that originated in Taiwan (the original Taiwanese slang for "boba" referred to large breasts, so in Taiwan the drink is referred to as "zen zu" instead). I doubt that it has anything to do with Boba Fett, though. 
It's also the name of a city in Hungary. I don't know what the Hungarian translation would be, since it's likely from the old language.
And like the others said, "boba" means "silly/stupid/dumb/idiot" in Spanish and Portuguese. It has the same meaning and use as the French word "bête".

So Boba are the tapioca pearls in Bubble Tea? That's pretty cool. Bubble Tea seems to be the 'fad' drink at school. It's an acquired taste but I enjoy it.
And of course there's Fettuccine.
Boba I think did stand for justice. Which is why i wonder why he did not wear black Armor. Stands for Justice. But I guess the Green fits with the job he does. The Duty of it all.
Boba Fett = One awesome dude
To "Fetter" also means to shackle/imprison
Boba (pronounced "Vova") is a Russian boy's name.

Everything means something in someone's language.
I have such a warped sense of humour, I think it should mean "prepare to wet your pants" sorry I just had to say it
It's a good thing you did. It gave me a good laugh for the day, Mel.
Fetti is slang for money and
bubba
From firearms culture, to improvise a solution or modify a firearm using limited skills and/or bad taste, so that although the owner of the firearm may be satisfied with the results, the firearm's resale value, and sometimes aesthetic.
