Bourgogne

Etymology[edit]

Inherited from Late Latin Burgundia, from Burgundiones (“highlanders”), from the name of a Germanic tribe (compare the root of burgh, borough), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰérǵʰonts (“high, mighty”), from the root *bʰerǵʰ- (“high”). From the same root is Brie, via Gaulish.
