According to the Wiki definition at the bottom, they seem to be pretty much the same thing - it's kind of a neat word though The term "bokeh" apparently wasn't used (in the Western world at least)
until the late 1990s , and seems to only be used in relation to digital cameras - especially when the background has those circles and/or hexagons of light - like in fractalv's first photo in this thread. I've seldom heard it used in reference to 35mm photography, though it could be. When I took photography courses in the '80s that sort of thing usually fell under controlling "depth of field" by manipulating the f-stop.
This photo was shot around 1985-86, with a Minolta SRT-100 - I guess the background could (now) be called "bokeh-effect"....?

Thanks to Proclivities for the February theme of Odd Perspectives. He kindly nominated me for March and this is what I chose:
Bokeh
From Wikipedia —
"In
photography ,
bokeh (
/ËboÊkÉ/ BOH-kÉ or
/ËboÊkeɪ/ BOH-kay ;
Japanese: ) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in
out-of-focus parts of an image. Bokeh has also been defined as "the way the
lens renders out-of-focus points of light". Differences in
lens aberrations and
aperture shape cause very different bokeh effects.
Photographers may deliberately use a
shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions, accentuating their lens's bokeh.
Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights , such as specular reflections and light sources , which is why it is often associated with such areas. However, bokeh is not limited to highlights; blur occurs in all regions of an image which are outside the depth of field ."
