Winburn Family History
Winburn Name Meaning
English: habitational name from Wimborne Minster Wimborne Saint Giles or Monkton Up Wimborne (Dorset). The placenames derive from Old English winn wynne ‘pasture meadow’ + burna ‘spring stream’. Given the high concentration of some variants such as Winborn in Sussex the name is perhaps also a late development of a surname from Wenbons Farm in Wadhurst (Sussex). The placename derives from an Old English personal name Wænna + Old English burna ‘spring stream’.
