Burrell is English, and was the name of a type of cloth. So it is probably a name for someone who dealt in that material. Paul Reaney records similar old names, such as Burreller and Burrelman.
Kaikare: Uganda has many languages. You should ask your boyfriend what his ancestral language is. He might even have an idea what it means. It certainly isn't French. There is a male given name, Kaikare, in the language of the Banyoro people of Uganda. I think it has some religious significance. Kaka means "older brother" in Swahili, but I don't think that language has much currency in Uganda.
