The AMERICAN-FRENCH GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY has an interesting list of FRENCH surname variations at:

If we just take the SOUND of the name into consideration, I would tend to think that BOURGO may have been shortened from BOURGEaULT, BOURGAULT, BOURGAUD
rather than from BOURGEOIS.
On the other hand, there are other FRENCH names that could have been shortened, such as BOURGOGNE,BOURGONNIÈRE, BOURGOUIN,
