How Burnaby get its name?

Burnaby, a city in British Columbia, Canada, derived its name from Burnaby Lake, which was named after the nearby Burnaby estate in England. The estate itself was named after the village of Burnaby in the English county of Surrey. The name was officially adopted in 1892 when Burnaby was incorporated as a municipality. The choice was influenced by the area's lush landscapes and its resemblance to the English countryside.
