Bora (given name)
Bora is both a first name, but also a family name.
As a first name he appears as a Turkish male first name and the name derives from the bora and from a Mongolian name meaning "gray". The name is also found outside of Turkey.
He also appears as a Korean female first name that is written with the Korean alphabet 보라 and means purple or violet. This is a purely Korean name that is not formed from sino Korean syllables and therefore has no equivalent in Hanja. As a purely Korean name it is partially written in romanization that would otherwise provide a hyphen between the syllables, without a hyphen.
Bora also occurs as a family name, a meaningful connection with the name is not necessarily before.
