Etymology

• (Gelderland) First attested as buria in 772. Derived from Proto-Germanic *bûrja- (“stable, outbuilding, barn, hut”). Compare Old Frisian bêre (“barn, house”).
• (Friesland) Potentially attested as buren around the end of the 11th century, attested with certainty as buren in 1245. Borrowed from West Frisian Buren, derived from the dative plural form of Old Frisian buer (“house, cottage”). See also West Frisian Bueren.
• (Overijssel) First attested as buren in 1188. Derived from the dative plural form of Middle Dutch buur (“dwelling, cottage”).
