Wikipedia This suggests the above is correct Spain has many dialects and Borja comes from Basque. They have a very ancient language which is nothing like Spanish. There's also Catalan, Asturian up north around that area. In other words, I do not know exactly and it would be good to hear the correct pronunciation for Mr Sainz.

When I was a child there was a shop in Soham known as "Des Boys", which seemed a bit odd. Years later I heard that a local girl had married a Frenchman and it was really "Des Bois".
