The House of Burnett (Burnet, Burnette, Burnard, Bernard) is a Lowland and Border Scottish family composed of several branches. The Chief of the Name and Arms of Burnett is James Comyn Amherst Burnett of Leys, Baron of Kilduthie.
==Origins of the name==
It remains uncertain if the name of Burnett is of Saxon or Norman origins.
It has been suggested that the name Burnett is derived from the Old French ''burnete'', ''brunette'', which is a diminutive of ''brun'' meaning "brown", "dark brown". Another proposed origin of the name is from ''burnete'', a high quality wool cloth originally dyed to a dark brown colour.〔''Crannog to Castle; A History of the Burnett Family in Scotland'', ed. Eileen A. Bailey (Banchory: Leys Publishing, 2000), pp. 2-3〕 There is also evidence which suggests that Burnett stems from the English surname of ''Burnard'', a derivative of the Anglo-Saxon name "Beornheard".〔 Spelling variations of the name in early documents show Burnet and Burnard/Bernard being used interchangeably for the same family and at times for the same person.〔 It is likely that the family of de Bernard first came to Scotland with the return of David I of Scotland and that they settled in Roxburghshire.〔George Way; Romilly Squire, ''Scottish Clan & Family Encyclopedia (Glasgow: HarperCollins, 1994), p. 86〕
