Clan Broun

Broun (or Brown) is the name of a Scottish clan in East Lothian, Scotland.

History

Origin of the name

The name Broun or Brown occurs both in Scotland, as well as in the English language. Already mentioned in old English writings (as Brun ), the name derives from the adjective of color brown or dark red. He also appears in Old High German, namely, as Brunn; From this name, in turn, the French surname Le Brun developed. A family of this name was shortly after the Norman conquest of England by William the Conqueror lords in the north of England Province Cumberland.

Broun is drawn as an Anglicization of Mac a ' Bhriuthainn into consideration what means " son of the Brehon " ( judge ); This name has already been translated into English as MacBrayne, or it is a direct translation of MacIlledhuinn dar.
