Bilayer graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edge is investigated with the tight binding model. Two stacking structures, alpha and beta, are considered. The band splitting is seen in the alpha structure, while the splitting in the wave number direction is found in the beta structure. The local density of states in the beta structure tend to avoid sites where interlayer hopping interactions are present. The calculation is extended to the boron-carbon-nitride systems. The qualitative properties persist when zigzag edge atoms are replaced with borons and nitrogens.
