Name Meaning
From the Germanic word brun ‘brown’. This was in use as a name in many of the ruling families of Germany during the Middle Ages. It was borne by a 10th-century saint, son of the Emperor Henry the Fowler, and by the Saxon duke who gave his name to Brunswick (German Braunschweig, i.e. ‘Bruno's settlement’). Its use in the English-speaking world, which dates from the end of the 19th century, may have been partly influenced by Lewis Carroll's Sylvie and Bruno ( 1889 ), but more probably it was first used by settlers of German ancestry in the United States.
