In summary

Obscure. From Old Galician-Portuguese borõa (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria); cognate with Portuguese broa, Asturian boroña and Spanish borona. Possibly from Germanic *braudą (“bread”), as has been proposed, probably via Gothic *𐌱𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌸 (*brauþ). Alternatively, perhaps from a Paleo-Hispanic. Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“spike, prickle”) (compare Welsh bara (“bread”), Old Norse barr (“corn, grain, barley”), Latin far (“spelt”), Serbo-Croatian бра̏шно/brȁšno ‘flour’, Albanian bar (“grass”), Ancient Greek Φήρον (Phḗron, “plant deity”)).
