Bruno is a name of German origin. Its meaning is derived from the German word ‘braun’ meaning brown and armour. Monks and saints were named Bruno in the Middle Ages including Giordano Bruno. The name spread around the world to South Africa, South America, Canada, the USA, Central America, and Oceania. It’s a name with international appeal. Search Bruno on LinkedIn and you will find scientists, engineers, architects, and artists all called Bruno. Many have dark hair and brown eyes – but there are also Brunos with blonde hair and blue eyes – and even redheads called Bruno. The name Bruno is soft and sweet but also powerful. The former minister of health in the Netherlands was called Bruno Bruins.

In 2009, Bruno was on rank 112 of the most popular boys' names in Germany. Still many people seem to consider it rather old-fashioned. Personally, I have yet to meet a Bruno who is younger than 50.

I'm named Bruno and live in Brazil. What I can say about this name? Every year I had to study with at least one Bruno, since it is so common here. :P
