Reply to: Re: Surname history and meaning of Brandenburg by Jim Young
This helps, I heard the "to burn" thing before, but I had forgotten where, and couldn't find anything that stated it currently. I am curious as to how the State of Brandenburg in Germany got it's name, however, the wikipedia article on it doesn't provide any information. and sources are scarce about it's original meaning on the Internet.
