Bo-ra () is a Korean given name. The word itself is a native Korean word meaning "purple" and can be used as verb to mean âÂÂlookâÂÂ. There is variation of corresponding old Chinese characters that can accommodate Bo/ë³´ and Ra/ë¼ but most popular is Bo meaning âÂÂpreciousâ (보à보) Ra meaning âÂÂsilkâ (ë¹Âë¨ë¼) hanja. However, since Korean given names can be created arbitrarily, it may also be a name with hanja (e.g. 寶ç¾Â
).
