Geography


Saint-Léger-du-Bourg-Denis is a light industrial suburban town surrounded by woodland and situated in the Roumois, just 3 miles (4.8 km) east of the centre of Rouen at the junction of the D42 and the D138 roads.


History



Etymology


The current official name of the town derives from a mistaken etymology dating back to French Revolution. Political authorities have retained and not reformed this quaint error to the present day. A more rational name would be "Saint-Léger-Bourdeny", after its ancient name "Bourdeny", a Gallo-Roman toponym in -acum, formed with the Germanic personal name Burdinus, thus Burdiniacum > Bourdeny. Burdinus, a given name, gave rise to the patronymic surnames Bourdain and Bourdin, common in west central France.

A similar name can be found in the Merovingian toponym Bourdainville.
