About the name Bóris
Bóris belongs to the Portuguese tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Bóris first appears in Social Security records in 1911. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #872 in 1962, and in 2024 35 babies received the name — 4,584 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
