The Bormida (Bormia in Piedmontese language) is a river of north-west Italy.

Toponymy

The hydronym Bormida derives from the pre-Roman Ligurian proto-form *bormo ('warm or bubbling water'), also linked to the names of the gods of the springs Bormo and Bormanus. Similar hydronyms are present in the region: the river Borbera and the river Borbore, but also the town of Bormio
