According to J.K. Wallenberg's "The Place Names of Kent," BORDEN is from "bardenn," (Old English), and means "Boar Pasture," or "Field where wild boars graze." The OE "denn" is a variant of "dene" or "denu," which are both OE for "valley." Therefore, "Boar Valley" is also an acceptable definition, and sounds better in Modern English. As the village of Borden is situated "high on rising ground," the namesake "denn" or pasture land would likely be a valley.
