Buren is Mongolian in Origin.

Buren is a surname-derived given name of Dutch origin. It comes from the toponym Buren, borne by several towns in the Netherlands and best known through the surname Van Buren, literally “from Buren.” The place name is often linked to Dutch buur/buren “neighbor(s),” from a Germanic root meaning “to dwell,” which lends the sense “from Buren” or, more broadly, “dweller; neighbor.”

As a given name, Buren took hold in the United States in the 19th century, with a noticeable uptick in the 1830s–40s during the prominence and presidency of Martin Van Buren. It appeared mainly for boys, frequently as a middle name, and remained uncommon after the Civil War; today it reads as rare and vintage. Variants and related forms include the compound given name Van Buren or VanBuren, and the Dutch surname spelling Van Buuren.
