Borj is in Origin.

Borj is a Persian form of Arabic burj (برج), a classical word meaning “tower” or “fortified height,” and by extension a “zodiac sign/stellar mansion.” Borrowed into Persian early, it became familiar through astronomy/astrology vocabulary and countless place names, symbolizing elevation, visibility, and constancy. The term is well known from iconic structures such as Burj Khalifa, reinforcing associations with prominence and aspiration.

As a given name, Borj is a rare modern choice in Iran and the wider Persianate sphere; the Arabic spelling Burj appears similarly in Arabic-speaking contexts. Contemporary usage leans masculine but can be unisex. Variants and lookalikes include Burj (Arabic), while near-homophones in other languages - Borg (Scandinavian surname meaning “fortress”), Borja (Spanish, from the Borgia family), and Börje/Borje (Swedish, from Old Norse Birgir “helper/savior”) - are unrelated but sometimes cited alongside Borj due to phonetic similarity.
