Awesome!

The name is Brencis.
From what I've been able to find it is a Slavic form of Laurence.
Someone once told me (possibly here on these boards) that it may have come from Lavrentis originally because the Slavic B and V are interchangable. It began as male, but from what I've found it is sometimes used by females today, but is rarely in use anymore anywhere.
