Boris
Origin and Meaning
The name Boris is a boy's name of slavic origin meaning “fighter”.
Boris is a strong and traditional Slavic name meaning 'fighter' or 'warrior'. It has historical weight, thanks to figures like Boris Godunov, a Russian tsar, and Boris Yeltsin, the first President of Russia. While it enjoyed a certain popularity in Eastern Europe, Boris hasn't seen the same level of use in English-speaking countries. Its bold sound and cultural richness might appeal to those with a penchant for names that aren't overly common in the United States.
