It was named after French astronomer Jean-Charles de Borda.<ref>Template:Gpn</ref> It has a low rim that is broken along the southeast by a smaller crater. The rim is intruded into by another small crater along the southwest side, and there is an irregular cleft along the northwest face. There is a central peak at the midpoint of the floor.
