The burling Surname
burling Name Meaning and History
English (Essex and Cambridgeshire): probably a habitational name
from a place in Kent named Birling, from an Old English personal name
B?rla + the suffix -ingas denoting ‘family or
followers’. There is also a Birling (of the same derivation) in
Northumberland, but this appears not to have contributed significantly
to the modern surname.
