The Word: Burgond/e

When I look up burgond/e in wordreference or anywhere else, nothing appears. But, Bourgogne does show for the Burgundy region. Is a burdgond/e someone form the region? Why is it not bourgogne/bourgogné or something else more similar?

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "Clovis, king of the Franks"

Dictation exercise B1
