The name "Bokanovsky" used by Huxley to describe a process of cloning, like the process itself, is totally fictional. There no real person or process being referred to by the name Bokanovsky.
It is important to realize that in the novel Brave New World the truth of what are presented as scientific possibilities is not important. For example, the cloning process presented in the novel is a means to present in an exaggerated form the tendencies of modern economic system and totalitarian governments to promote uniformity among its population, rather than present a scientific possibility of how human beings can be cloned and conditioned.
