Source: Bora (Turkish name)

Bora is a common masculine Turkish given name that means "a strong wind that usually brings rain." The word is derived from the Ancient Greek and ultimately related to the mythological figure of Boreas/Βορέας, the North Wind. Latin boreas (=hard and cold wind), Italian borea (=north wind), French borée (north and especially northwest wind), and Persian baran (=rain) are based on the same etymological roots. In addition, it is possible that it is related to the Mongolian word 'borugan' (=rain).
