This name is best known for being the name of Borena of Alania (11th century AD), an Alan princess who went on to become queen of Georgia after marrying the widowed king Bagrat IV of Georgia. It is because of her that the Georgians became acquainted with the name Borena; she brought the name to Georgia. Considering that the Alans spoke an Eastern Iranian language that was descended from Scytho-Sarmatian, it is highly likely that the name Borena has its roots in that language as well. In fact, a prevailing theory is that the name means "chestnut-brown, maroon" in that language.

The meaning of this name is not known for certain. It could be derived from Hungarian bél meaning "guts, bowel" or Old Slavic bělŭ meaning "white". This was the name of four Hungarian kings. It was also borne by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók (1881-1945).
