Where this word comes from

From Low German (e.g. Westphalian, East Frisian) and Central Franconian dialects. First attested as Dutch bohay in 1573 (now in the form poeha). Possibly of common origin with French brouhaha, be this onomatopoeic or from Hebrew בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא (bārûḵ hab-bā, literally “blessed be he who comes”); see the French for more. Alternatively the Dutch/German form may be an independent onomatopoeia.
