Boria

Boria, also known as Borey or Borya, is a given name, often a diminutive form of Boris. It is a common Slavic name with origins in Old East Slavic, likely derived from the Turkic word "bogatyi," meaning "rich" or "wealthy." The name Boris itself gained popularity in Slavic countries due to Saint Boris of Bulgaria. While less frequently used as a standalone given name in modern times, Boria persists as a familiar and affectionate nickname. It is predominantly found in Eastern European countries, particularly Russia and Bulgaria. The name carries connotations of strength and nobility, historically associated with royalty and military leaders. Its usage is generally limited to male individuals.
