Blackburn is an Irish name meaning dark stream.

Blackburn is a Scottish name from the Dumfries and Galloway and Borders area. You will also find in the area Black Sark, Scottish for shirt, Black Sike, a gutter or stream, and in England just over the border from Scotland Black Cleugh, meaning a ravine or narrow valley.

Blackburn is definitely not an Irish name as Black in Irish is DUBH and the Irish way of spelling BURN is Byrne and Irish for stream is SRUTH.
