The actual word is derived from the Russian word 'bolshe', which means more. Originally, the Bolsheviki (or Bolsheviks in English) were a radical faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP), a Marxist political party. The less radical faction of the RSDLP was called Mensheviki, derived from the word 'menshe', less. The Bolsheviks, of course, became the Russian Communist Party (the Soviet Union). The word "soviet" means "council" in Russian.
