Developed into its present form in Italy (where it is called bocce, the plural of the Italian word boccia which means "bowl"),[4] it is played around Europe and also in overseas areas that have received Italian migrants, including Australia, North America, and South America (where it is known as bochas, or bolas criollas in Venezuela, bocha in Brazil). Bocce was initially played among the Italian migrants but has slowly become more popular with their descendants and the wider community.

The sport is also very popular on the eastern side of the Adriatic, especially in Croatia, Montenegro and Herzegovina, where the sport is known in Croatian as boćanje ("playing boće") or balote (colloquially also bućanje ).[5][6][7] In Slovenia the sport is known as balinanje[8] or colloquially "playing boče" or bale (from Italian "bocce" and Venetian "bałe", meaning "balls").[9] In Southern France the sport is also popular and known as Boule Lyonnaise.
