The term Boriswave is derived from the name of Boris Johnson (pictured).

The Boriswave is a term used to describe the surge of immigration into the United Kingdom that followed the nation's withdrawal from the European Union (known as Brexit) and the introduction of new post-Brexit immigration policies. The word is a compound of Boris Johnson—the prime minister who introduced the policies—and wave.
