I was curious about the in-universe etymology of their names:

Boro-: Derived from the Sindarin word boron, meaning "steadfast", "trusty man", or "faithful vassal".

Fara-: Derived from the Elvish root far-, meaning "sufficent" or adequate".

-mir: Derived from the Quenya word mírë (or Sindarin mîr), meaning "jewel", "precious thing", or "treasure"

Ouch.
