Burin is French, Thai in Origin.
Burin (Thai: บุรินทร์) is a Thai masculine given name formed from Indic elements. The first part, buri, descends from Pali/Sanskrit puri/pura “city, fortified town,” familiar from many Thai place names (-buri). The ending -in reflects Thai อินทร์, a reduced form of Indra, “lord, chief.” Together the name conveys “lord of the city,” “protector of the town,” or more broadly “urban ruler,” a dignified, auspicious meaning in Thai onomastics.
Usage is modern but well established in Thailand and appears among public figures and entertainers; elsewhere it remains rare. Common romanization is Burin; standard Thai spelling is บุรินทร์. Extended or Sanskritizing variants include Burindra and Burinthra/Burintra, with Rin used as a short form. Related names built on buri are widespread in toponyms and surnames. Note that in English and French burin is also the engraver’s tool, so the given name can carry an additional artistic echo to international ears.
