but is not recorded as a vocabulary word until the 16th century. The
usual English term was the Old French word burgeis ‘burgess’
(see Burgess). This name is frequent throughout central and
eastern Europe. It also occurs as an Ashkenazic Jewish family name,
but the reasons for its adoption are uncertain.German:
