Bourke ({{langx|ga|de Búrca}}; {{langx|la|de Burgo}}) is an Anglo-Norman Irish surname, a variant of the surname Burke, deriving from the ancient Anglo-Norman and Hiberno-Norman noble dynasty, the House of Burgh. In Ireland, the descendants of William de Burgh (c.1160–1206) had the surname de Burgh which was gaelicised in Irish as de Búrca and over the centuries became Búrc then Burke and Bourke.{{Cite web |title=Bourke Coat of Arms Meanings and Family Crest Artwork |url=https://coadb.com/surnames/bourke-arms.html |access-date=2022-02-28 |website=coadb.com: Coat of Arms, Surname Histories, Genealogy |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Bourke Name Meaning, Family History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms |url=https://www.houseofnames.com/bourke-family-crest |access-date=2022-02-28 |website=HouseOfNames |language=en}}{{Cite book |last=Woulfe |first=Patrick |url=https://www.libraryireland.com/names/d/de-burc-de-burca.php |title=Irish Names and Surnames |publisher=M.
