Burgas
- /bʊɚˈɡɑ(ː)s/
Where it comes from
There are several possible origins for the name of the city, which is similar to Burgos, a city in Spain. When the city was founded, the inhabitants of the surrounding country got into the fortified village, named πύργος (púrgos, “fortress”). By another theory, the city's name comes from Latin burgus (“tower, fortress”), or Gothic 𐌱𐌰𐌿𐍂𐌲𐍃 (baurgs, “consolidated walled village”).
proper noun Bourgas
- A city in eastern Bulgaria.
- A province in eastern Bulgaria.
