Bora is a common masculine Turkish given name that means "storm" or "a strong wind that usually brings rain".
According to the Turkish Language Association, the name Bora derives from the Italian word borea, which ultimately related to the Ancient Greek ÃÂÿÃÂÃÂñÃÂ. Some etymological studies also suggest a possible connection to the Proto-Turkic *bora-, meaning "storm". It is of the same root with the Turkish , meaning "whirlwind" or "tornado", and is cognate with Bashkir (buran), Crimean Tatar , Kazakh (boran) and Turkmen . In addition, it is possible that it is related to the Mongolian , signifying "rain".
