I looked borra (it certainly looks like that is the word ) over and found out it means the rough part of wool or linen which is only good to weave material of lower quality. So borra may either be a nickname referring to the low quality (!!) or to his profession as a weaver. Borra means the coffee powder that stays in the filter after you brew your drink and can also be used (never heard of it but...) low society/scum/slag.
