Why is Naruto's son named Boruto?
Simple! Boruto is a play on 'bolt' in Japanese, which lines up with his father's name, Naruto, derived from 'narutomaki' (a kind of fish cake).

Boruto sounds like Bolt, symbolizing strength, speed, and a connection to his ninja heritage.
It's just a clever pun, matching Naruto's 'spiral' theme with Boruto's 'bolt.'
Trust me, it's all about the wordplay and keeping that Uzumaki family tradition of food-themed names going strong!
