Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Bruno je latinizovaná podoba starohornonemeckého mena Brun. Jeho základ sa vykladá buď zo starohornonemeckého brūn vo význame „hnedý, lesklý“, prípadne ako označenie medveďa, alebo zo starogermánskeho prvku *brunjō vo význame „pancier, ochrana“; tieto základy sa v osobných menách významovo prekrývali.
