Does the last name "Kilbourne" sound Irish?

The name is English.


It is a habitational name from a place in North Yorkshire or one in Derbyshire, both of uncertain etymology. They are possibly named from an Old English personal name Cylla or Old English cyl(e)n 鈥榢iln鈥?+ burna 鈥榮tream鈥?

Does the last name "Kilbourne" sound Irish?
It sounds more Scottish than Irish.





Edit: Some quick research reveals that the name's origin is neither Irish nor Sottish, but English. From the village of Kilburne in Middlesex, where a mineral well was quite popular. It seems as if the name is a composite of the Danish 'kilde' and the English 'bourne', both having the same basic meaning, a stream or fountain. The Danes invaded and contolled much of England in the 9th century.
