== Etymology ==
Bór's name comes from the [[Sindarin]] word ''[[bôr]]'', meaning "faithful vassal". This sobriquet is very similar the name given to Balan, who is better known as [[Bëor the Old]]. Balan was a vassal of King [[Finrod]], and the word ''bëor'' means "vassal" in Balan's native tongue of [[Taliska]]. Unlike Bëor, though, Bór's original name was never recorded.
The name ''Bór'' is [[Noldorin]], given by the Elves because of his loyalty to them.<ref>{{LR|Etymologies}}, root BOR-</ref>
