Born: Traditionally used to describe something as being brought into life by birth or brought into existence; created: A new nation was born with the revolution.
Born can also be used to describe something as native to a particular country, region, or place. Often used in combination: Irish-born; Southern born and bred; Boston-born.
However, many people do not know that it is an alternative spelling of the Old English word “burn” meaning a stream or brook.
