Bora is a common masculine Turkish given name that means "a strong wind that usually brings rain.
"[1] The word is derived from the Ancient Greek[2] and ultimately related to the mythological figure of Boreas/Βορέας,[3] the North Wind.
Latin boreas (=hard and cold wind), Italian borea (=north wind), French borée (north and especially northwest wind), and Persian baran (=rain) are based on the same etymological roots.
[4] In addition, it is possible that it is related to the Mongolian word 'borugan' (=rain).
