Why Did Naruto Name His Son Boruto?
Naruto named his son Boruto as a tribute to his late friend Neji Hyuga. 'Boruto' means 'bolt' in Japanese, and Neji's name means 'screw.' It's Naruto's way of honoring Neji's memory and sacrifice during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

I read somewhere that Boruto stands for 'bolt,' symbolizing strength and reliability, fitting for a ninja's son. Plus, it's a cool name!
Boruto's name is a nod to Neji Hyuga, Naruto's comrade, whose name means 'screw.' It's Naruto's way of remembering him.
Naruto probably just thought it sounded like a cool name. Seriously, would you argue with the Hokage's naming skills?
