- Gunburnus 1240 WoP
Etymology
This name must contain the Scand. name Gunnbiörn , and the name be really 'Gunbiorn's.' The loss of the second element in this name would be helped by the fact that the pers. name itself sounded like an English name in -burn . The existence of this Anglo-Scandinavian name in this area is shown by a Gunb 'n in Hallow in 1275 (SR) and a Gumbar in Warndon in 1327 (SR), a few miles away on the other side of the Severn.
