If you are looking for a strong and significant name for your son, Boran is a standout choice. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Thunderstorm', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Turkish regions, Boran has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Boran, like Puran, is tied to Boran (Purandokht), a Sassanid Persian queen and one of the few women to rule ancient Persia in her own right.
