The first proven bearer of this name was the Bulgarian ruler Boris I. Michael (852 / 853-889 / 890) (Greek Βόωρίς [ Booris ] or Βόγορίς [ Bogoris ]). Therefore, the name is assumed to have an origin from Old Bulgarian . The Turkish translation would be “(little) wolf” .

An origin from Persian is possible . There is the name Behrus ( Behrouz ). “Bogh” or “Bagh” means “God” and thus the name “Bog (h) oris” means the “divine” or the “heavenly”.

The name Boris is little known as a short form of the Hungarian female first name Borbála (Barbara) or the male first name Barabás .
