Re: Name for son
in reply to a message by Brett
According to former president of the American Name Society, Elsdon C. Smith, the name "Bremen" is a surname taken from the German town of the same name. It means "by the seashore".Author Terry Brooks may have had other ideas as to the meaning of the King of Shannara's name, when he possibly pulled that name out of his head.The best way to find out what Terry Brooks may have been thinking of, is to ask him, yourself. You can contact him directly by going to this webpage:http://www.terrybrooks.net/askterry.htmlWhen you find out, be sure to come back here and let us know! Good luck!-- Nanaea
