Borris Origin and Meaning

The name Borris is a boy's name.

Borris is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Boris, which has Slavic origins meaning 'fighter' or 'wolf.' While Boris has been common throughout Eastern Europe for centuries, particularly in Russia and Bulgaria, the Borris spelling variation is considerably less frequent. The name carries historical weight through associations with various royal figures and saints in Slavic countries. In Western nations, Borris remains an uncommon choice that retains an air of Slavic heritage and strength. The double 'r' gives this spelling a slightly different visual impression while maintaining the same pronunciation as the traditional form. The name projects a robust, serious character with historical depth.
