Etymology: The Australian city in New South Wales is named after Henry Goulburn, a British politician who served as Under-Secretary for War and Colonies. The city's name is an English surname, not a local word. The name is also a variant spelling of Golborne, a town in Greater Manchester, England. Both forms reflect the same English place-name tradition, though the Australian city's spelling took its own shape.
