What about "-bury"? That comes from the same word as borough, burg etc. (And actually, "-berg" comes from a different word.)

I think Burgas, Bulgaria also applies for this quiz. From Wikipedia: "The name Burgas comes from the Greek word "pyrgos" (Greek: Πύργος), meaning "tower" or "fortress"."

A tough challenge. Could you possibly accept Gothenburg for Göteborg?

hilco: you are right. In fact, it's a bonus answer, but I wrote it like "Bourgas". I am going to add "Burgas" just in case. Thank you! Angularity: no problem, doing right now.
