Meaning & origin
Burgandy is a modern color name that first appeared on U.S. birth certificates in 1974. It reached its peak popularity in 1992, but even then it remained quite unusual, never cracking the top 1,000. The name's trajectory has been stable over the years, with no recorded data for 1-in-N frequency. While it did not have concentrated popularity in any particular state, Burgandy saw its greatest use in the 1990s. The name is essentially an alternate spelling of Burgundy, the wine-inspired name that itself is a rarity. Parents may be drawn to its rich color association and the stylish 'andie' ending, but the name has never entered the mainstream.
Burgandy is a variant spelling of Burgundy, the name of a historical region in eastern France known for its wine. As a given name, it is a modern coinage, likely inspired by the deep red wine color. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1974 and saw moderate use in the 1990s, peaking in 1992.
