Definitely. "bjork" means "birch" in Icelandic.

robert k commented on 07.27.06
any relation to Bjork?

thanks for the info, SS, I had no idea of the origins of the word 'berk'!

Smart Set commented on 07.25.06
The point is what expletive it rhymes with. Calling someone a berk is supposed to be a coded insult.

That would make it the 'birch tree meadow' hunt.

In Cockney rhyming slang "berk" is short for "Berkeley Hunt".

in dutch a *berk* is a tree, no oak of course, but our califs never sit on blue baskets
