Meaning
The most common theory is that this name comes from the Bulgar language with meanings according to the different interpretations: "wolf", "short" or "snow leopard". Some authors, which support the "Iranian theory" about the origin of the Bulgar language derive "Bogoris" from the Iranian word "bog", which could mean "godlike". Another theory is that this name is an abbreviated form of the Slavic name Borislav, which means "one who fights for glory" from бор bor, battle combined with слав slav, glory.
