Etymology 1 edit
Several theories exist:
- From Byzantine Greek βροντησίον (brontēsíon) (11th century), presumably from Βρεντήσιον (Brentḗsion, “Brindisi”), known for the manufacture of bronze,[1] or perhaps through a Vulgar Latin *aes brundusi(um),[2][3] from the name of the same city.
- Perhaps from Lombardic brunst (“burning, fire”), German Brunst, related to English burn.
- Alternatively, ultimately from Persian برنج (berenj, beranj, “brass”) ~ پرنگ (pereng, “copper”),[4] or from a Latin brundium, linked to the aforementioned Persian word.[5]
- Less likely linked to Germanic through a Late Latin or Vulgar Latin *brunitius, related to bruno (“brown”).[6]
