The villages name means ‘Homestead/village on the River Burn’ or perhaps, ‘hemmed-in land on the River Burn’. ‘Deepdale’, which means ‘Deep valley’, was added to distinguish it from the other Burnhams in Norfolk.

The village is one of the original seven Burnhams, which include Burnham Norton, Burnham Overy, Burnham Sutton, Burnham Thorpe, Burnham Ulph and Burnham Westgate.
