Brunno

Brunno is a masculine given name primarily found in Portuguese-speaking regions. It is a variant of Bruno, which itself is derived from a Germanic name associated with the meaning linked to “brown” or “dark-haired.” The form Brunno may reflect orthographic influences in Portuguese or Italian languages, where doubling the consonant can indicate a particular pronunciation. While Bruno is widely used in many languages, Brunno is comparatively rarer and is most often encountered in Brazil, though instances exist in other countries with Portuguese or Italian heritage.

In usage, Brunno appears almost exclusively as a personal name; it is not commonly used as a surname. Like Bruno, Brunno carries no intrinsic meaning beyond its historical origins and the individual identity of the bearer. Spelling and pronunciation can vary by region, with local conventions shaping how the name is spoken.

Notable people named Brunno are primarily athletes and professionals from Brazilian communities, reflecting the name’s regional popularity, but comprehensive lists are not standardized.
