Bormida

The hydronym Bormida derives from the pre-Roman Ligurian proto-form *bormo , also linked to the names of the gods of the springs Bormō and Bormānus. Similar hydronyms are present in the region: the river Borbera and the river Borbore, but also the town of Bormio in Lombardy know since the ancient times for the thermal waters and the town of Burbons les bains in France known for the same reason. The root *borm- itself could have pre-Indo-European origins and, therefore, could be connected with the lost language of Prehistoric inhabitants of Europe who occupied Northern Italy before the possible arrival of the Indo-Europeans.
