== Name == {{wiktionary|Borvo}} The [[Gaulish language|Gaulish]] [[theonym]] ''Boruō'' means '[[hot spring]]', 'warm source'. It stems from the [[Proto-Celtic language|Proto-Celtic]] verbal root *''berw''- ('boil, brew'; cf. [[Old Irish]] ''berbaid'', [[Middle Welsh]] ''berwi''), itself from [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] *''bʰerw''- ('boil, brew'; cf. Latin ''ferueō'' 'to be intensely hot, boil', Sanskrit ''bhurváni'' 'agitated, wild').{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=83}}{{Sfn|Matasović|2009|p=63}} The ''Bhearú'' river ([[River Barrow]]) in Ireland has also been linked to this Celtic root.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Monnier|first=Nolwena|date=2019|title=Nommer la nature : toponymie de la nature dans la Topographia Hibernica de Gerald of Wales|journal=Études irlandaises|issue=44–1|pages=31–46|doi=10.4000/etudesirlandaises.6884|issn=0183-973X|doi-access=free}}</ref> The variant ''Bormō'' could have emerged from a difference in [[Suffix|suffixes]] or from [[dissimilation]].{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=83}}{{Sfn|Busse|vaan de Weil|2006|pp=230–231}} Known derivates include ''Bormanicus'' ([[Vizela|Caldas de Vizela]]), from an earlier *''Borwānicos'', and ''Bormanus'' or ''Borbanus'' ([[Aix-en-Diois]], [[Aix-en-Provence]]), from an earlier *''Borwānos''.{{sfn|Charrière|1975|pp=130–131}}<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Quintela|first=Marco|date=2005|title=Celtic Elements in Northwestern Spain in Pre-Roman times|journal=E-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies|volume=6|issue=1|issn=1540-4889}}</ref> A goddess named ''Boruoboendoa'', perhaps reflecting the Gaulish theonym *''Buruo-bouinduā'' or *''Buruo-bō-uinduā'', has also been found in [[Utrecht]].{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|pp=79, 83}} The toponyms [[Bourbon-l'Archambault]], [[Bourbon-Lancy]], [[Bourbonne-les-Bains]], [[Boulbon]], [[Bormes-les-Mimosas|Bormes]], [[Bourbriac]], [[La Bourboule]] and [[Worms, Germany|Worms]] are derived from ''Borvo'' or from its variant ''Bormo''.{{Sfn|Delamarre|2003|p=83}}{{Sfn|Busse|vaan de Weil|2006|pp=230–231}}{{sfn|Charrière|1975|pp=130–131}} The names of various small rivers in France, such as ''Bourbouillon'', ''Bourban'', and ''Bourbière'', also stem from the theonym.{{sfn|Charrière|1975|pp=130–131}}
