Bourne Family History
Bourne Name Meaning
English: topographic name for someone who lived beside a stream,
Old English burna, burne ‘spring’, ‘stream’, or a
habitational name from a place named with this word, for example Bourn
in Cambridgeshire or Bourne in Lincolnshire. This word was replaced as
the general word for a stream in southern dialects by Old English
broc (see Brook) and came to be restricted in meaning
to a stream flowing only intermittently, especially in winter.
