I have never heard of this absolutely rare name, but it seems to exist in Germany,both as a forename and a surname.

WIN could be German or English = friend
BOR could go back to Slavonic borti = fight (borg seems unlikely, as most hits point towards the east, Poland etc.)

(Unfortunately my digital version of Seibickes HDV starts with the letter F.)
