Berkanan
Berkanan is the reconstructed Proto-Germanic name of the b-rune ᛒ, meaning "birch". In the Younger Futhark it is called bjarken in Icelandic and bjarkan in Norse. As a rune of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, it is called beorc ("birch" or "poplar").
The corresponding Gothic letter is 𐌱 b, named bairkan.
