Burns

US Popularity Rank: 10778

Origin: British

Meaning: Stream, spring, brook

Burns is a charming name traditionally given to boys. Originating from Old English, it flows from the expression burna, which means “stream,” “spring,” or “brook.” Alternatively, it may inspire feelings of fire or passion, but we just think of the excellent Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.
