Value
On the origin and meaning of the name there are several opinions. The name is usually associated [2] [3] with the first bearer of the name of the Bulgarian Khan [4] Bogoris (Boris I) ( ancient Greek Βογορις , Βωγωρις , Βορισης ), the baptist of Bulgaria. Boris I in baptism received the name of Michael and the title of prince.
Max Fasmer puts forward two main hypotheses for the origin of a name:
- Mongolian origin (from "bogori" - "small"),
- Proto-Slavic origin. According to this hypothesis, the name is either derived from the same root as the word “ fight ”, [5] or truncated from the two- basic Slavic name Borislav , formed by the addition of bases [cf.] (cf. “fight”, “overcome” ) and [ glory] ( "glory" ) [6] .
A. V. Superanskaya also connects the name with the ancient Persian "vares" - "heir" [7] .
According to Bulgarian professor V. Beshevliev, [8] the name can be translated from the ancient Proto-Bulgarian language as a snow leopard ( leopard ), also according to Bulgarian associate professor Ivan Tanev Ivanov, [9] the name Bogoris can be interpreted from Iranian languages as “God's anointed”, through Iranian-speaking version of the origin of the Proto-Bulgarian language .
The holy martyr Prince Boris became one of the first Russian saints, which determined the spread of this name. He was the son of Kiev Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich from the "Bulgarian" (perhaps from the Bulgarian princess), that is, the name could be inherited through the female line.
Princely Name
Roman was the baptismal Christian name of St. Prince Boris , one of the first Russian saints (Boris was his pagan worldly name). In the system of naming Rurik , when for many centuries the princes bore two such names at the same time - the so-called. “A couple of names”, the name “Roman” often accompanied “Boris”, since the naming in honor of the saint was quite popular, and it was still impossible to name the child simply “Boris”.
However, anthroponymic researchers emphasize that this rule was not iron - over time, “Boris” became a full-fledged baptismal Christian name. F. B. Ouspensky writes. [10] : “The polyfunctional status of the names Roman and David , which combined the functions of a generic and Christian name, and an even more complicated situation with the name Boris , which could function as a baptismal under the prince ( Svyatoslav-Boris, Mstislav-Boris ), then An independent dynastic name, which also combined the functions of ancestral and Christian, gave rise to considerable confusion in modern historiography. Thus, a strange tradition has been established to automatically assign the names Boris and Gleb , respectively, to the princes appearing in the sources exclusively under the name Roman or David . At the same time, it is stated that the prince by the name of Roman , for example, had the Christian name Boris or Boris-Roman [in V. L. Yanin ] (...). Meanwhile, it remains completely incomprehensible (and in the relevant works - not explained at all) In other words, the prince, everywhere in the sources of Romans appearing under the Christian name, which before his birth was already used in the family of Rurikovich as a baptismal, could have another baptismal name. In other words, it does not explain in any way how a prince could have two baptismal names, and what was the status of this atponymic hybrid. According to a completely fair statement of V. L. Yanin, “Boris and Gleb together could be patrons of Borisov, Glebov, and Romanov, and David” [11] . However, the identity of the patron saints still does not mean the identity of names (...). It seems that we have no reason to say that each of the Davydov necessarily bore the name Gleb, and each of the Romanovs the name Boris. ”
In other cultures
Jews often transcribe the Jewish names Ber (Berl) and Baruch with the name Boris , which, however, are not etymologically connected with him.
