Burke ({{langx|ga|de Búrca}}; {{langx|la|de Burgo|}}) is a Norman-Irish surname, deriving from the ancient Anglo-Norman and Hiberno-Norman noble dynasty, the House of Burgh. In Ireland, the descendants of William de Burgh (circa 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 book |last=Woulfe |first=Patrick |url=https://www.libraryireland.com/names/d/de-burc-de-burca.php |title=Irish Names and Surnames |publisher=M.
