history
According to Ernest Nègre , the place name is derived from the Germanic name Brodlonus and the local ending -court , for "court". It means "court of Brodlonus". There is also a family name Burlion , which is particularly widespread in the Nord and Aisne departments , as well as in Belgium , and possibly also originated from the Germanic name.
In 1266 Burlioncourt was mentioned for the first time as Bruilloncort in the copial book of the Abbey of Salival, which is today in the municipality of Moyenvic . In the 15th century the place appeared again as Brulloncuria in this copial book. The parish of Burlioncourt belonged to the archpriest of Haboudange , who was subordinate to the diocese of Metz . The village itself belonged to the castellany of Vic-sur-Seille , established in 1234 , which was also subordinate to the diocese of Metz.
In 1793 Burlioncourt received in the course of the French Revolution (1789-1799) the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government. From 1801 to 1871 it belonged to the former Meurthe department , which was renamed the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in 1871 . In 1871 the community was incorporated into the newly created realm of Alsace-Lorraine of the German Empire due to changes in territory due to the course of the Franco-German War (1870–1871) . The realm of Alsace-Lorraine existed until the end of the First World War (1914–1918) and was then dissolved. Burlioncourt was in the Moselle department at that time, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again assigned to France. As a French-speaking village, Burlioncourt was one of the last 247 municipalities whose name was Germanized on September 2, 1915. The name was changed to "Burlingshofen" and was the official place name until 1918.
