Burnis, as a given name, is incredibly rare, but we can trace its etymological roots back to Cumberland, Scotland, where it may have originated. It is likely derived from the Scottish and English surnames Burns or Burnhouse, which stem from the Middle English burne or bourne, meaning "stream" or "brook." Just like the gentle stream they're named after, your little Burnis is sure to bring a steady flow of energy and a calm, peaceful effect on those around them.
