Probably an altered spelling of French Bourrier. In eastern
France this was an occupational name for a harness maker, from a
derivative of Old French bourrel ‘harness’, ‘collar’. In
western France burrier denoted a thin wisp of straw, and was
probably applied as a metonymic occupational name for a winnower.
