1 - 1 from 1
Some have supposed that the city has received its name from lying between these two rivulets Burna, Assi, making the word Burunassi, Benares; but this derivation is more than doubtful. Others maintain the word comes from a famous rajah called Bunar; but this, too, is a mere conjecture. Let me take my readers with me on a trip down the river.
James Kennedy - Life and Work in Benares and Kumaon, 1839-1877
