The village was first mentioned in 1358, by the name "Buchku". Its name is derived from a Slavic word meaning "bull". Before 1556 Bosckai family owned the village. From 1556 it belonged to the Báthory family. By 1711 a mansion already stood here. After the failed revolution led by Francis II Rákóczi, Germans settled down in the area. The village had three parts: "Nagybocskó" and "Kisbocskó" ("Greater" and "Smaller" Bocskó), which form today's Velykyy Bychkiv, and "Németbocskó" ("German Bocskó") across the river (this forms today's Bocicoiu Mare in Romania).
