Burg meaning | Last name Burg origin

Burg is the variation of Borough. The Boroughs of Chetwynd, county of Salop, are lineally descended from Robert Borone, noticed by Leland in his Itinerary, which Robert died in 1418.

Variant form of Borrow. See under Burgh - A component syllable in many local surnames. It also stands alone, and may be derived from one or more of the various places so called in Cumberland, Suffolk Norfolk, and Lincoln. It is the Anglo-Saxon burh, bureh, byrig, a word common to most German dialects, and somewhat resembling the Gr. Túpyos, turris. This is subject matter for a longthened dissertation, had we space for it, but it will be sufficient for the present purpose to observe, that its meaning appears to be that which Richardson assigns, viz.— "a place of defence or security," whether that place be a walled town, a mountain, or the place in which the "conies," though but a "feeble folk," fortify themselves. Imperial Petersburgh, royal Edinboro', and a rabbit's Burrow, have therefore a community of origin and of name. The word occurs very largely in local no menclature, sometimes as a prefix or termination, and sometimes in the middle of a name, and in variously modified forms, as burg, bur, ber, berk, borough, brough, berry, barron, bury, etc.
