Buriana Origin and Meaning

The name Buriana is a girl's name.

Saint Buriana lived in Britain in the sixth century, and is commemorated in the village of St Buryans, Cornwall. Her name is of unknown derivation, but the saint may be the same as the Irish Saint Bruinsech, so it could be a Cornish rendering of that name.
