Bort (name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bort is an eastern Ashkenazi Jewish nickname for a man with a beard.[1] It originates from the Yiddish word bord and the German Bart, which both mean 'beard'. It may also be connected to the Polish word borta, a loanword from the German borte meaning 'braid' or 'galloon'.[2][1]

In Catalan language, it is a variant of Bord,[3] which means bastard, and it is used as a surname.
