...my name is Bulgarian? --serbiana - talk 02:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually it's proto-Bulgarian, i.e. it's brought by non-Slavic Bulgar tribes that conquered some South-Slavic lands and together with Slavic tribes from this area created new country and nation, Bulgaria as we know it today. -- rrw

[edit] Slavic name

Boris is much more likely Slavic in origin, possibly a short form of Borislav. On the Russian wikipedia page it is stated that this name was recorded among the early Polabian Slavs which had no contacts with any Turkic people at any point in history. It is also quite widespread in most Slavic states today.Sotnik (talk) 06:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
