Bronte Meaning

From a surname, an Anglicized form of Irish Ó Proinntigh meaning 'descendent of Proinnteach'. The given name Proinnteach meant 'bestower' in Gaelic. The Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Emily, and Anne - were 19th-century English novelists. Bronte originates in Gaelic languages and means 'receiver'. It can be used as both feminine and masculine given names, until today it is much more frequent as a surname though. The famous bearers were the Bronte sisters - Anne, Emily and Charlotte - all three of them popular English writers.
