- Bruce Meaning
- From a Scottish surname, of Norman origin, which probably originally referred to the town of Brix in France. The surname was borne by Robert the Bruce, a Scottish hero of the 14th century who achieved independence from England and became the king of Scotland. It has been in use as a given name in the English-speaking world since the 19th century. A notable bearer is the American musician Bruce Springsteen (1949-). Bruce is a very old and respected name, especially in Scotland, but it is believed to be of French origin. It is believed that the name Bruce was a surname given to people from the Brieuze region of Normandy in France. When the Normans invaded England, there was a contingent of Brus and it is believed that they established the name in the British Isles from where it went to Ireland.
