Bury St Edmunds

The name Bury is etymologically connected with borough, which has cognates in other Germanic languages such as German Burg 'fortress, castle' and Bereich '(defined) area' Old Norse borg 'wall, castle'; and Gothic baurg 'city'. They all derive from Proto-Germanic *burgs 'fortress'. This in turn derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *bhrgh 'fortified elevation', with cognates including Welsh bera 'stack' and Sanskrit bhrant- 'high, elevated building'.
