Meaning and history
Wilburn is an English given name transferred from a surname. The surname may derive from a medieval personal name or from place-name elements, but its exact origin varies and is not securely reduced to “will” plus “stream.” It became established as a masculine first name in the United States. Notable given-name bearers include American politician and actor Wilburn Cartwright and American soldier Wilburn K. Ross, a Medal of Honor recipient. Exact-name examples remain limited.
