Meaning and background
The story behind Bori
Bori is the Roman-letter form paired with Korean 보리, barley, in Maangchi’s ingredient guide. The guide explains that the grain can be mixed with rice or made into tea, giving the word a concrete kitchen connection. For a dog’s name, it may recall a family food tradition or a favourite bowl of barley rice. This is evidence for a Korean food word in that spelling; it does not establish the origin of every personal name or surname written Bori.
