Boruto's name is derived from 'bolt,' which is a nod to his uncle Neji Hyuga since Neji means 'screw' (another type of fastener). It's Naruto's tribute to Neji's memory.
Because Neji means 'screw' and 'Boruto' sounds like 'bolt.' Simple as that.
Naruto named his son Boruto as a tribute to Neji Hyuga, whose name means 'screw.' Boruto translates to 'bolt,' linking back to Neji.
