Boruto's name is a direct nod to Neji Hyuga's name, which translates to 'screw' or 'bolt.' Pretty cool way to honor a fallen comrade, if you ask me.
It's a tribute to Neji Hyuga. Neji’s name means 'screw' or 'bolt,' and Boruto carries on that legacy. Nice little detail, huh?
Boruto is named Boruto as a tribute to Neji Hyuga, whose name means 'screw' or 'bolt' in Japanese. Boruto means 'bolt' in English, too!
Hot take: because 'Naruto Jr.' would've been too on the nose. For real, it's to honor Neji.
