Etymology
Borrowed from a Southeast European or West Asian language, possibly borrowed multiple times from several languages in different German subcultures. The word was popularised by rapper Haftbefehl (who is of Turkish and Zaza ancestry) in his 2012 single "Chabos wissen wer der Babo ist" ("Boys know who the boss is"), and the most likely derivation is from de zza babo father, possibly influenced by de tr baba father, crime boss. The word was however in use prior to Haftbefehl, and these isolated uses might derive from de sh babo father or de rmc babo father (alongside the Romani-derived de Chabo).Matthias Heine, Babo ist zazaisch, 26 November 2013
