Boris (Modern Bulgarian Spelling: Борис) is a Bulgarian name of Bulgar origin, common in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia and other countries. In recent generations it is on some occasions used also among English-speakers, even without any Slavic background. The name likely originated as an abbreviated form of Bogoris (see Boris I of Bulgaria). The name means "wolf" or "short" in Turkic. Another theory connects the name with Boreas, manifestation of the North Wind in Greek Mythology, who was depicted as inhabiting a cold northern land similar to Russia. Boril is another historical variation of the name.
