tbourner Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 http://www.surnamedb.com/surname.aspx?name=bourner This ancient name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is one of the earliest topographical surnames existing today. The derivation is from the Old English pre 7th Century "burna, burne", spring, stream, which was originally used as a topographic name for someone who lived beside a stream. In the south of England the term was gradually replaced by the Old English "broc", brook, and came to be restricted in meaning to an intermittently flowing stream, especially one that flowed only in winter; this meaning of "bourn" is still found in the dialects of Kent, Surrey and Wiltshire. So I'm an intermittently flowing stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Recorded in a wide range of spellings including McNiven, McNevin, Niven, Nevin, Nevins, and Nevinson, this is usually a surname of Scottish origins, but is equally well recorded in Ireland. However spelt the surname has two origins, both Gaelic. Must be why Im strictly against england in rugby:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
